Does eating loads of sugar affect breast milk?

Specializes in Pediatrics

"Loads of sugar": If your concern is that the sugar passes directly into the breastmilk the answer is no. However a healthy diet and prenatal vitamins are recommended to optimize quality and quantity of breastmilk production.
