Ladies I have a question if im breastfeeding and I eat spicy food can the baby taste it.?

@mommytobe123, when i was breastfeeding i ate salsa and baby girls poop look like it burn her booty:/

yea they can taste it

@nylahmylovely @hellokitty718 like alot becuase I ate something spicy=(

I actually asked that question to my NICU Dr and the NICU nurses and said that's a myth

@mrsruvalcaba omg really its because I pumped and gave my baby the milk.

I was worried to especially since my 26 wker is in the NICU and I was told no.. so I still eat spicy things, but you can always check with your Dr

@mrsruvalcaba would your baby get fussy

no she doesn't, trust me I've asked a lot of times and all the responses I get is no... I wouldn't be worried

@mrsruvalcaba ok thank you so much

Can nursing mothers eat strong-flavored or spicy foods?

Yes, in general. There are many cultures who regularly eat spicy foods and strong-flavored foods, and there is no evidence that a greater percentage of these babies are fussy, gassy, or have other problems with the foods their moms eat. We do know that some strong flavors, like garlic, can pass into the milk but it does not seem to cause problems. In fact, one study showed that babies nursed better after mom ate garlic.
