Today I bought some organic maté ginger tea at the store. I was all excited but wanted to check real quick on any contraindications. I found lots of stuff saying no maté while preggo or breastfeeding. Dd2 is still nursing.
So is really bad or is it one of those general precautions they write for lots of things when preggo/breastfeeding? I mean I occasionally have alcohol while pg and bf and I ate brie while preggo too but all is well with the kiddies
. I also drink coffee on a regular basis (espresso, 2 times a day) so does maté have more caffine than that? i really just want to have a cup once in awhile. It wasn't going to be 5 times a day.
