Food to Avoid

Visitor Question: What food should I avoid when breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding Magazine Response: In most cases, your little one is the best person to let you know which foods to avoid when breastfeeding and which ones will be alright.

Breastfeeding moms can usually enjoy a variety of different foods while nursing. Although these foods may change the taste of your breast milk, most babies are not bothered by these differences.
In fact, he or she probably enjoys a little variety.

However, there are some common foods that you may want to watch more closely than others. See our Food to Avoid When Breastfeeding page for more information.

Good luck!
