Pregnancy, Breastfeeding & Children

Pregnancy

Use Caution

Moderate amounts (1-2 cups/day) are generally considered acceptable, counted toward total pregnancy caffeine limits (under ~200mg/day); green tea can also reduce folic acid absorption, so it's best not taken alongside prenatal vitamins.

Breastfeeding

Likely Safe

Moderate caffeine intake is considered compatible with breastfeeding; watch for infant jitteriness or poor sleep with heavy intake.

Children

Avoid

Caffeine content means green tea is generally not recommended for young children.

Interactions & contraindications

Warfarin

Vitamin K content can reduce warfarin's effectiveness.

Stimulant medications

Caffeine content adds to stimulant effects.
