BF diet

Hi mummies! Care to share your breastfeeding diet? Any particular food to avoid? What I've heard are spicy food, coconut milk that might give baby the runs or seafood etc. For my meals nowadays, I feel I could not eat as freely as before and have to consider if I can eat the food/ingredient infront of me. Not to mention BM killers I read like raw onions, cabbage etc..

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. 😆
