Hi all,
I was at a 1st birthday party at the weekend and got into an argument discussion with an irritating, insignificant eejit of a man one of the kids fathers over breast milk. Basically, I had stuffed myself on the finger buffet (joy of kids parties! Mini sausages and ham & pineapple pizza a go-go!) & asked the hostess for somewhere quiet and comfy I could slope off to in order to feed 10 week old DS. I then overheard this male guest make a comment about 'another of the breasfteeding Nazi's". I was friendly and asked what he was saying & he went off on a total rant about "this nonsense" about breastfeeding and went on to comment that, given my diet of wotsits and marshmallow hats that day, something out of a jar would be far more likely to give my DS the nutrients he needed. At that stage, the hostess stepped in to prevent my DH from lamping the pratt diffuse the situation and there then ensued a discussion from many of the Mums there about how hard it was - especially in the early weeks - to eat regularly - and especially to get your 5 a day (when Cadbury's calories seem so much easler!).
So - putting aside the idiot (who clearly has his own issues...) what I was wondering was just how much does my diet impact on the "quality" of my milk? I will confess my fruit intake has been appaling since ECS (fear of wind after a nasty post-banana experience in the early days.. I shant go into detail 
) but I have been stuffing it in ever since!
