Is it true you should watch what you eat when you breastfeed? I.E: No ice cold drinks or spicy food…

No, it's not that bad. It's similar to being pregnant, like you have to be careful with medication more than anything. You can definitely have spice and ice cold drinks:)

@elenalee, okay. I swear everyone has different "advice and opinions" on everything lmao

babies can get whatever you eat through breast milk, for example alcohol. if you don't pump and dump after a night of drinking their is a chance baby will get it while breast feeding and if you take in a lot of say, hot sauce and spicy food, yes baby might taste it in the breast milk. @mommytomia

What you eat does flavor your milk, a little, but they say that it makes for more adventurous eaters when they are older:) When you have the baby they should send in a lactation consultant and you can ask for a list of do's and don'ts.

Why would someone say you can't have ice cold drinks?

@pregomego, my mil thinks it'll mess my baby's stomach when I breastfeed like what.

The temperature of what you drink won't effect the temperature of your breast milk

@pregomego, that's why I was confused lol..

thank u

Food doesn't really do anything. Actually it does change how it taste a little which is cool. So it may have a little spicy taste to it not actually spicy. There's all kinds of things people will say. Kellymom website is great info!

Honestly it depends on you and your baby bc their was certain foods I couldn't eat bc it would make his acid reflux worse or terrible gas and he would scream. Like chocolate and lettuce. But you should eat healthy helps with milk supply and baby bc they get those good things from your milk.
