From what I’ve read, there is still a lack of evidence supporting the link between a breastfeeding mother’s diet and minimizing a baby’s food allergy’s risk. Most importantly, the mother should keep to a balanced and healthy diet to ensure that the baby is getting adequate and sufficient nutrients. Still, some of my friends would pay attention to their intake of some common foods that infants tend to have allergic reactions to: cow’s milk, eggs, wheat, soy, shellfish and peanuts. They would keep a lookout for allergic reactions in their babies if they have consumed any of these food. And here is a list of food that are commonly associated with gas or causing stomach upset in babies when consumed by the breastfeeding mother: citrus fruits, broccoli, peppers, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Personally, I would still suggest a well balanced diet. The main type of food to avoid for a breastfeeding mother would be fishes that have higher levels of mercury, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, solid white or albacore tuna and tilefish.
