Yep I agree, Evan was effected by things I ate.But your diet can affect your BM. My SIl is living proof of that. As soon as she cut out the stuff causing the probs, my nephew was a diff. baby.
If it doesn't then why do some Mums have to cut out certain foods etc because it affects bubs...
Yep I agree yet again. I never had a problem with foods I ate affecting Glenn. So Same milk, same diet, yet to different outcomes on my kids.I think there is a difference between the nutritional component of food and the types of foods that affect some little tummies. Just because some babies are affected by cabbage for example, does not make all breast milk nutrionally deficient and not suitable for use by others. Other than caffiene I have not found any particular food I have eaten really affects Maggie, it affects me more LOL!
I wonder if there would be a requirement to avoid certin food types for 12 to 24 hours (like spicy, curries etc) before expressing to donate. After all most of the foods that people do find to have issues with are gone from the milk after 24 hours. For example, if your bub had a "windy/colic" day & you suspect it may have been something you ate, look back at what it was you ate 12 hours before the "bad" day started. Avoid it for at least 24 hours & all should be good again.
