I am a breastfeeding mum. I like to eat spicy food. Should I eat during BF? If not, what can I eat?

Eating spicy food in moderation shouldn't be a problem if you're breast feeding. If it were, I'd imagine it would really difficult for breastfeeding mommies in countries whose staple foods are generally spicy. So don't worry about it, as long as you eat healthy and in moderation, it will be fine. Dr Paula Meier, a lactation specialist notes that the human breast actually takes what it needs from body stores to make milk, pulling calcium from bones, and fat from the mother's reserves. When it comes to the baby's health, Dr. Meier recommends that mothers maintain a balanced diet. Other than that, she says, the need to restrict -- or expand -- the mother's diet is a myth. "What a mother needs to think about more is what she wants to eat to protect her body's stores so they will replenish," Dr. Meier explains. http://www.parents.com/baby/breastfeeding/basics/avoid-foods-while-breastfeeding/
