A member asked:

Are beans bad while breast feeding?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Staple food group: Beans are a good source of nutrition and part of a balanced diet. If they make you gassy they can make baby gassy but i don't think that is a valid reason to avoid them.

No: From a nutritional standpoint, they are good. But occasionally cause gas both you and the baby.
