A word to the wise...

Eat whatever you want during pregnancy.

When nursing, the foods you eat can pass into your breastmilk to give your baby indigestion and gas (which makes them VERY mad). Amazingly enough my 2 baby books don't really mention this predicament, so time to talk to the trusted "nurse on call" at the pediatrician's office.

Foods to avoid (one might suggest foods you can eat)
All ethnic foods and anything spicy - Mexican, Indian, Asian
Dairy products
Tomatoes and tomato based sauces (in fact sauces in general which rules out most pasta)
Pizza
Oranges and all citrus
Green leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage, turnip greens, etc)
Onions, peppers, squash
Melon, watermelon, and berries
Caffeine

Just try to have breakfast without dairy, citrus, berries, and caffeine
