This is something that you'll never know if you don't do research on the internet. Not even the doctor. They'll just tell you that you can eat anything while breastfeed as it won't affect the baby, but it's actually a lie.
When you breastfeed, what the mother eats affects the baby very much. The only information I had before I did this research is "I mustn't take ginger if my baby had jaundice". Other than that, I knew nothing and in the end I ate most of the foods that I should avoid if I'm breastfeeding my baby and in the end causing my baby to have discomforts.
So here is a list of foods that you should avoid if you wanna breastfeed. :)
1) Chocolate, cabbage, garlic, chillies - Mothers who took these foods while breastfeeding will cause the baby to have wind discomfort to their tummy making them cry non-stop. And from what I've read, CHOCOLATE is actually the worst of all four. So if you wanna breastfeed, BAN CHOCOLATES!
2) Citrusy fruits such as pineapple, oranges, tomatoes, grapefruits and lemons - Taking these will caused the baby to have nappy rashes.
3) Caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea - It will caused the poor baby will have hard time sleeping. Eventhough they say that it's okay to take coffee in moderate quantity, my advice is not to take it at all.
4) Alcoholic drinks - This will make your baby to sleep a lot which is BAD because it will eventually making the baby sleepless during the night.
And please be reminded that what the mother eats actually changes the taste in the breast milk too. Like if you take too many sourish food, your milk will turned sourish. And if you take foods with coloring, for example, orange juice, your baby's urine will turn out more orangey than usual.
So if you plan to breastfeed, it's best if you do a research before you eat a certain things because it'll really break your heart into pieces when your baby is crying and as a mother, you don't know what to do to help your little precious.
Breastfeeding is good, but when you eat without thinking twice, it might actually turn bad for the baby.
