Things NOT to eat when breastfeeding...

allie8955

With my first I struggled with breast feeding...seemed like everything I ate he'd break out bad turns out I had too much lactose in my milk and his tummy couldn't take it...so I had to quit breast feeding

Now with this baby on the way I want to try again...but need help from u mamas on foods to avoid! Its been a while for me so I need some help...thanks!

Ive nver heard of this I didnt even know that that could happen! Goodluck

@Mandielynne Yea same here! That's until they tested my milk and told me. They'd put my son on these diets and stuff also...and have me stop breast feed for 2 weeks to c how'd he react and he was fine...and then when I'd start breast feeding him again he'd b fussy and break out

I keep telling myself that's its probably just the wrong kind of foods I ate that triggered his tummy...

Mandielynne

Uh oh..i hope u dont run into that problem again I loved brstfeeding its funny watchen the babys "drunk"look once satisfied

I know about cutting out dairy, soy, acidic & wheat while nursing since they cause a lot of allergies or upset tummies (depends on which bothers baby more).

Lettuce, onions, garlic, broccoli, cabbage........ Anything that can make you gassy or make breast milk taste bad.

really I never cut anything except alchaol I made a no no my kids both fed 16months. when u have ther baby they give u a pamphlet at my hospital its baby friendly which means they promote breast feeding n dont supply formula, but it says increase milk intake n they give u a plain milk with b'fast

With my first if I ate broccoli she would break out in a terrible rash

@allie8955 great question this is my first and I plan on trying to breastfeed I didn't realize. That there was other things other then alcohol. That you should avoid.

@stella id seriously ask ur dr n not take the word of other ppl u dont want to cut iron. most things can just discolour or change flavour of milk doesnt meen u shouldnt have them

stella

It really depends on the kid. With my son, I didn't cut anything out besides caffine, and with my daughter I had to watch my intake on onions and green peppers. Good luck!

I had crab meat in a pasta salad and my son broke out in a rash.

I just cut back on caffeine with my son...and cabbage because that gave him bad gas. Everything else I could eat.
