A question for Mommies out there...about liquid fuel

I'm planning on using something w/ no caffine. 

FIrst of all, welcome.  I am so impressed that your youngest is only 11 weeks and you're training.  I have 3 kids (8, 5, 3) and my husband and I both know that I'm a much better mother/wife when I make the time to exercise.  I wish I had know what a difference it makes earlier- I think when my youngest was only 11 weeks, I was still in the phase of hoping to get my teeth brushed by dinner time.

I agree with what's been said about avoiding caffeine.  I would think that non-caffeinated gels shouldn't pose any problem, but I would play close attention to milk supply.  Nursing a newborn around the clock is physically demanding and requires lots of calories.  If you are doing long enough workout sessions that you need to take gels, you're probably going to have to consume tons of calories.  Aside from all the warm fuzzy feelings and nutrition for the baby, one of the things I loved about nursing was how much food it takes to fuel the milkers!

Keep us posted on your training and good luck!

Most gels out there do not contain caffiene - those that do list it on their ingredient list.  Most do not list them in their nutritional information section though, so you gotta read the ingredients to be sure. 

For Clifshots those that contain caffiene are:
Mocha Mocha, Sonic Strawberry, and Cola Buzz

For Hammergels those that contain caffeine are:
Espresso, though the Chocolate one contains Chocolate Liquor --so who know about that one.

Gu gels almost all use their Herbal Blend which contains some caffiene, so all their gels contain some caffeine in them except Banana Blitz (which they market as caffeine free).
