Food effect on breastfeeding

Jany

Hey Ladies,

Just asking out of curiosity. Do you think our food habits really going to effect our breast milk?. In my country after delivery till 6 months we are kept on strict diet, no spicy food more of sweet with butter, few green leaves, lot of garlic. No gassy items, no junk food.

Adding to it they also classify different diet for baby boy and baby girl. For example I have given birth to baby boy they tell me not to drink water too much as it will cause pain in baby stomach where this is not implied in baby gal. How does your tradition follow in terms of after delivery care?
