Can certain medications or foods eaten by mother during breastfeeding cause constipation in the baby?

Hi. Short answer is that there is no particular food or medicine taken by a nursing mother that can explicitly cause constipation in the baby and avoidance of any type of food in mother's diet is generally not recommended. But if you do observe a noticeable change in baby's bowel habits without any other more probable direct factor like introduction of solids, change of milk or unwellness, then it may be worth a try to omit that particular food from your diet and observe for any change/improvement.
