Breastfeeding - myths of limiting your diet

I came across this chart which led me to this webpage on what to eat while breastfeeding, but more to what to avoid. It recommends such a lot of shit, including sticking to only plain water, not eating most green vegetables, limiting wheat etc.

I can’t believe this misinformation is still being pedalled like this. Women should be supported in breastfeeding and not told to totally limit their diet unnecessarily!

here’s the link (albeit not a medical one but lots of similar info out there!) www.dianabakerphotography.com/breastfeeding-what-not-to-eat

Catofthe land - flavour compounds do come through - it’s true babies like the flavour:)

I was agreeing! I even started taking garlic tablets to try and make the milk more flavourful as dd seemed to like that. Marmite too.
