It has more caffeine than black tea so if you notice that it effects your baby then you should probably avoid it. Also, tea is a diuretic so if you do drink some, make sure you keep up your water intake as well. I drink tea Green, and black and I have never had a problem.

Well, I drink a ton of hot tea (and did all through pregnancy) and I've never heard anything about tea negatively affecting a nursing mother. If it's possible I would try to drink decaf, or just limit the amount of regular green tea you drink to 1 or 2 cups. :-)

I drank it, didn't seem to do anything to me or my babe. You can get decaf green tea too!
