ARE THERE ANY FOODS I SHOULD AVOID WHILE BREASTFEEDING?

One of the concepts that La Leche League is founded on is: “Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.”

You don’t need to eat anything special while you’re breastfeeding/chestfeeding. It is a good idea for you, just like everyone else, to think about what you are choosing to eat and to choose foods that nourish and sustain your body as much as possible. The food any family chooses will depend on personal preference, climate, culture and finances.
