They are loaded with caffeine and you know caffeine isn't good for the baby. BUT Starbucks DOES have decaf frap mix at most of their stores now, that's what I get.

Its okay, just don't drink like 20 a day. I was so excited about pumpkin spice at Starbucks... I started getting them almost everyday. But, instead of regular I got decaf and it tastes the same without worries about baby! But, a little caffeine doesn't hurt.

Yes it's okay to have a little bit of caffeine, but I will warn you that it's not a big deal, it's not advised to have something with a significant amount of caffeine in it. If you can substitute it with something else that's caffeine free (like an iced chai tea or something) it's healthier. Also keep in mind that coffee anything is a diuretic and makes you pee a lot and also contributes to dehydration.
So it won't hurt the baby, as long as you aren't having more than one a day or two, but it's advised if you can cut out all caffeine, to do so.

Yeah it's fine. Just remember that most of those drinks are loaded in fat and calories...so keep track of that.
And my Dr likes me to limit caffeine to two drinks a day....but some days are worse then others.

If you can order decaf or half-caf but YES! There is alot of milk in latte's making them and excellent source of calcium.

Oh geez...please have one! Your baby will be fine! You can have one a day if you want. Moderation is key.

I've always heard that caffeine isn't good for the baby .. an example my mom gave me was "you wouldn't give your baby a cup of coffee would you? all that caffeine would make her so hyper."
I just order decaffeinated now.
