No: You could and should eat a balanced diet including all food groups. Stay away from spicy foods, foods that make you gassy and carbonated drinks, as well as liquor. Keep the diet bland, and healthy.

Not safe: I consulted on one case where mom decided to do that.Kid was so anemic he was hospitalized and needed a transfusion.If you must, work with your pediatrician so proper supplements can be provided to baby since your milk will be deficient in needed nutrients.
