  abstract = {{P}urpose: {T}his work aimed to study postpartum mental outcomes and determinants of the intake of caffeinated beverages during the pandemic in women from {A}rgentina. {M}ethods: {T}his cross-sectional study recruited 619 women who responded to online self-report questionnaires during the first and second waves of {COVID}-19, including validated instruments ({I}nsomnia {S}everity {I}ndex, {P}erceived {S}tress {S}cale, {P}ostpartum {D}epression {S}creening {S}cale, {M}emory {C}omplaint {S}cale, and {B}reastfeeding {S}elf {E}fficacy {S}cale), and general data. {I}ntake frequency and amount of caffeinated beverages were estimated. {M}ultivariate regression and structural equation models identified associations and effects (p < 0.05). {R}esults: {W}omen were under social restrictions for 60.39 days, with home and essential activities increasing caffeinated intake. {T}hey ingested (m{L}/d): yerba mate (1457.71), coffee (66.85), tea (67.61), and soft drinks (50.95), which provided 646.20 mg/d of caffeine. {I}ntakes of coffee and yerba mate were higher than pre-pandemic ones. {C}offee was positively associated with stress and insomnia, and indirectly linked to higher levels of depression and memory complaints, and lower breastfeeding self-efficacy. {T}ea showed a similar but weaker association. {Y}erba mate correlated inversely with depression (through direct pathways), insomnia, and memory complaints (through indirect pathways), promoting breastfeeding self-efficacy. {S}oft drinks and caffeine did not present significant associations. {C}onclusion: {A}lthough findings do not imply causation, results suggest that beverages would exhibit caffeine-independent affective and cognitive roles, which might be anxiogenic in the case of coffee and tea (to a lesser extent). {Y}erba mate showed antidepressant potential. {G}iven that breastfeeding might be compromised during the pandemic, yerba mate intake is promissory to protect postpartum mental health.},
