A member asked:

How long does food stay in your breastmilk after consumption? also- is pineapple safe to eat during breastfeeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing question: The food you eat does not transfer to breast milk. It is broken down in your digestive system which can take days & some components ( protein, amino acids,fats, sugars) will become part of BM over time. Some items like caffeine will transfer within hours. Pineapple is okay.
