Hi Breastfeeding mummies, any food that you avoid during breastfeeding? My mum disallows me to have spicy food, bread (due to containing yeast), yellow noodles, white vegetables like cabbage (due to cooling). Any advise?

Generally you can eat anything but in moderation but like Idza mentioned, it will be better to limit alcohol, seafood or food that baby is allergic to. I don't see a need to avoid any food if there is no particular reason. In fact, I eat everything! Spicy, caffeine, seafood and more as baby is okay. Normally I will monitor baby if I eat something new to see if there is any allergic reactions. But you can avoid broccoli, onion, cabbage and cauliflower as they may cause gas in some babies.

Yes! Same for me but will have to eliminate it for awhile until baby is slightly older say 4-5 months old then you can resume eating moderately!
