So here are some fruits you should avoid and why;
Pineapples are very acidic and can sour your milk if you eat pineapple before feeding your baby, your baby won't feed and if they do, it could give them nappy rash.
Oranges, grapes, lemons and limes are citrus fruits and a great source of Vitamin C which baby needs too. But it's acidic so it can add a sour taste to your breast milk. And this may give your baby stomach ache or make him stop feeding.
You can rarely get it here in Nigeria but I feel I should still warm breastfeeding mothers that if you want to consume them, it should be to a minimum.
Strawberries are great sources of vitamins and minerals but it doesn't go well with everybody, meaning it's an allergenic fruit. So if you or any other member of your family are allergic to strawberry (their body react to it) then you should talk to your doctor before adding them to your diet.
If your child is allergic to strawberries, here are the signs you'd notice; diarrhoea, skin rashes, fussiness, and gas formation.
When prunes are consumed excessively, it may purge your child for it's a natural laxative.
6. Cherries
Cherries are purgative so it's best to avoid them when you're breastfeeding. If you have to eat it, eat very little of it if not it will purge your baby and you'll change nappies frequently.
Mamalette! What other food does your child react to?
