i ate anything and everything. well, by the third in 3 years i did anyway.

you know yourself, but personally, ive never had food poisoning in my life and have a stomach of steel ( a mixed blessing aktch)

i didnt do shellfish when pg, just in case, like, but other than that? ach, you'll be fine!

Yes, because the only reason you should avoid them whilst pregnant is that you are particularly sensitive to food poisoning, which might affect the unborn baby. Whilst BF your immunity is the same as anyone else's I believe, and you couldn't pass food poisoning onto your baby through the breast milk anyway

yes
it's salmonella risk with eggs but a) you're not pregnant and b) risk is low and c) even if you WERE pregnant it isn't always a disaster, I had salmonella when pregnant,not nice but not necessarily the end of the world either.

Yes, runny eggs are fine.

In fact, athything is fine pretty much with bfing (obv excep excessive booze, fags and drugs)

Can't bear hard boiled eggs.
