What foods to avoid while breastfeeding?

Question

I'm still getting the hang of this breastfeeding thing. I avoided processed foods all through pregnancy and am now tempted to binge on them but don't know if the additives are risky in breast milk as well? And I need to know what other foods are no-no's? Thanks in advance 💕

Answer

You can pretty much eat whatever you want but obviously healthy choices are better for everyone. It is important to pay attention to foods that might upset your baby's tummy. I had to cut back on dairy because it gave my daughter bad reflux.

Answer

If it bothers baby then it's a no no food. Limit caffeine (can agitate or over stimulate baby but not always so try small amounts and build up to see if any at all bother baby) still and alcohol has to have time to get out of your system.

Answer

Things with peppermint/spearmint, sage and oregano, these are not a problem for baby but can harm your milk supply.

Answer

Answer
