Breastfeeding...What to eat?

Question

Hi, ladies I'm currently pregnant with my 3rd (due this month!). This will be the first time I try breastfeeding. So my question is do I still have to watch what I eat while I breastfeed like I have to during pregnancy? Do I still have to stay away from deli meats, unpasteurized milk and cheeses, sushi, ect?

Answer

No, you shouldn't have to unless you notice baby having discomfort after eating certain things but you should be able to eat as you normally would.

Answer

I ate the same whether I am not pregnant, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Unless baby has sensitivities, you'll be fine.

Answer

You can eat what you want. If baby gets gassy could be something (ie, like broccoli or dairy) but you aren't limited anymore

Answer

With my first I had to cut out onions, garlic, broccoli and dairy because he got gas and fussed. With my second I ate anything and he never fussed was never gassy. It just depends on the baby. Best of luck, breastfeeding is an amazing thing.

Answer

Most important thing is to drink plenty of fluids and take a vitamin. Otherwise, eat whatever. :)

Answer

I eat anything I want to and I'm pregnant I did the same thing when I breastfed also
