A member asked:
What kind of food i should be eating during breastfeeding to give baby all vitamins and all he needs, and what should i not eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
God made food: Is of particular importance. Be sure that your vitamin intake is rich enough in folic acid. Do not eat or drink any form of junk, especially all the sweet stuff. Do not drink any pop or caffeine containing drinks, including, of course, coffee-----not even decaf.
