BF diet

Am at my 4th mth doing exclusive latching for my bb. Honestly at first I avoided a lot of food until my cousin (works as a nutritionist) asked me whether I really did enjoy breastfeeding since I’ve a whole lot of list of food to avoid. I replied ya,very tiring becos I have to check and read up on every single food before putting into my mouth. So she told me I don’t have o do that. If I avoid a lot of food, baby will not be expose to those food via breastmilk and this might caused my baby to be picky eaters next time. And also, if I don’t enjoy breastfeeding then how can I do for long.. so after that talk and reassurance that everything is fine so long eat in moderation, I started to eat better and I think my bb is happier becos happy mum=happy baby. So don’t worry ok! Just eat well. All in moderation. If u want to drink caffeine or alcohol or eat anything that u think is not suitable/or u scared, just don’t breastfeed for the next 2hrs. Anyway the food we eat, only a little will pass via our milk to baby..so no worries. 😆

I just eat my normal diet! Of course trying to eat healthy foods and a range of foods is good exposure for little one. I maybe didn’t tAke as much spicy food at first but slowly slowly more and more. I don’t feel restricted at all! Cabbage was a bit of a milk killer for me but I would try to limit and I was fine. Take care and just enjoying BF your little one.

I actually don't avoid anything in particular but I do restrict caffeine and alcohol intake before pumping. Only take alcohol after my last pump at night. And coffee I keep to 1 cup a day after my first pump in morning. Rest of diet as per usual. I eat alot of spicy!!! Don't see any problem.

Actually I don’t avoid anything except alcohol (never drank it anyway), and just probably not too much caffeine. I had to avoid brocolli for a while because it made my baby gassy, but after a while it was fine. I love spicy food, and baby’s always been okay with me taking that:)

My usual diet - i didn't avoid spicy; still having a cup of coffee or tea a day. I did avoid cabbage till baby is 6months though..had cabbage after that but did not affect my milk supply - everyone reacts differently. Drink lots of water!

I eat everything in moderation coz I believe by the time my body digests and breaks down the food to make breastmilk for my baby wouldn’t be that bad

I just eat as per normal. Even spicy food, coconut, sashimi.... Already restrain so much during pregnancy.

I eat everything and anything that I want during breastfeeding. Alcohol after 2 hours then breastfeed.

Just eat what you want. But would advise against high mercury fish like tuna, swordfish.

tbh i dont avoid anything except for alcohol. and caffeine, not so much.
