eating food after baby is born
once the baby is born I can start eating the things that my doctor had on the no-no list even if i am BFing? right?
For example - turkey sandwich and tuna and hot dogs? (obviously not all at once)

Re: eating food after baby is born
I plan too!! I already have a list and in what order I want them. I will admit I have been eating hot dogs in moderation during my pregnancy (they were a craving .

I think they tell u to stay away from spicy foods cause they can bother the baby when BFing and also alcohol bc that goes into ur breast milk as well.
Other than that I think it's safe to eat anything while BFing.

Re: eating food after baby is born
as long as it doesn't both the baby's stomach, you are fine! i'm on a dairy-free diet right now because dairy was bothering my DD. she's doing a lot better now because of my change in diet!
...but I was so excited to eat hot dogs again, YUM!

I will have a glass of vino and sushi, a beer and a hotdog.. after that I'll be good.. I figured the alcohol ban will continue until you stop BFing.

Re: eating food after baby is born
I am not worried about the alcohol so much as the cold cuts and other forbidden things.

Re: eating food after baby is born
You are able to eat the "forbidden" things you mention while BFing. Your body processes any possible contaminants and you are not sharing a blood stream with the LO after delivery so it is not a problem. Right after I delivered I had a salad with lots of fresh crumbled gorgonzola cheese and all was well ( and I was BFing). The restrictions are less while BF vs being preggo. I do believe you still have to be careful with your mercury intake though, at least that's what my LC told me.
