what foods to eat while breast feeding your newborn


Christie - March 4th, 2004 6:46 PM

Just eat a heathy diet like you would normally and remember that everything you eat, your baby eats as well. Avoid gassy foods such as raw onions and choclate.

Always avoid spicey foods.

The doctors and nurses in my maternity ward said that they do not restrict foods while nursing anymore- just drink alot of water, take your vitamins and eat well. You should just watch your baby for any reactions though. My newborn spit up a lot more when I ate red sauce and chocolate.

Eat a healthy diet. Eat foods as close to their natural state as you can. Stay away from processed foods and fast food. Go to a LaLeche League meeting. They talk about this kind of thing there. They also cover other topics that are related to raising a healthy baby. Here's their website:

I have been going to La Leche League meetings. They're great! There are different groups in my area, so I can go to one every week. I have learned so much from these people. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found out about this wonderful group.

I have heard that your baby will tolerate whatever you favored while pregnant, even if it was jalapeños.

what foods make the baby gassy and spit up? ive noticed him spitting up a lot more lately, and its making me wonder if the food im eating is causing it. chocolate? really?

Like all the ladies said you should watch your baby after you eat. If the baby is ok doesn't cry and kick his feet (that's what they do when the belly hurts) you are doing good. I went slowly introducing the baby to hot spice and chocolate by having a little bit at a time. After a while I would eat what ever I wanted to and it never had a bad effect on the baby. Good luck with b/f.

I eat whatever I want, and my baby's fine - with 2 notable exceptions...Burger King makes her gassy, and Taco Bell makes her poo smell really badly.

Any fruits to avoid in preganancy?


Christy - December 19th, 2005 11:29 AM

My baby seems sensitive ti onions and peppers. He likes the taste going down, but gets terrible gas pains from the stuff. I won't try spicy becuse I am afraid it will totally hurt his belly and burn his bum.

tati- kicking is a normal motor behavior in infants. It helps them develop their motor contol for walking and standing. Do you mean when they draw their legs up to their chest in pain as a sign of stomach upset?


Tati - December 19th, 2005 10:25 PM

Christy that is what I meant, when they kick their feet while they are crying really hard or when they draw their legs together. Sorry I should have explained my self a bit better.
