Is it necessary to avoid certain foods while breastfeeding?

Question

I was on Pinterest earlier and saw a post about foods I should be avoiding which I have not, nor did I have any idea I should be. Makes me wonder if maybe that’s why baby is spitting up after feedings :( FTM. LO is one week old. Is it different for everyone? How do I know what foods to avoid?

Answer

no. unless baby shows signs of an allergy eat what you like!

Answer

DAIRY will usually cause babies to be gassy and colicky. I had to cut it out of my diet until she was about 6 months and then slowly started adding it back to my diet. I noticed a huge improvement in her when I cut it out. Most other foods should be fine

Answer

I've been strictly breastfeeding for 4 months and baby was spitting up the first few weeks and according to the doctor I was over feeding him. I used to put him 30 minutes on each breast and after the doctor gave me that opinion I cut down to 10-15 mins on each breast and it worked! He stopped spitting up and he was very satisfied and growing wonderfully.

Answer

all babies have refund until 4 months don't worry about the spit up. And doctors will tell you if you need to avoid anything specific. I avoid Spicy food, peppers, and most dairy.

Answer

All food is fair game (well don't eat old/spoiled food or anything or course). 
Only certain medicines are okay - you should check with your doctor about those.
