Someone told me there are some foods I shouldn't eat if I'm nursing. What are they? “Eat what you like,” Solow says. “Women all over the world, who eat many kinds of foods, nurse their babies - and most babies can tolerate most foods.” As an added bonus, since breastfed babies are exposed to an array of flavors, they usually do better when introduced to solids because they’re used to variety. But some babies can be allergic to something in their mom's diet. Signs of a possible food allergy: eczema, blood in the stool, or fussiness (of course, fussiness can have many causes). In those cases, according to Solow, the culprit is usually dairy; consult your pediatrician. Next: My baby wants to eat all the time. She doesn't seem satisfied with 20 minutes per breast anymore.
