Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 The onions and the ceasar salad really aren't a bad thing - if you read this article by Susan Weed, it kinda gets around to that kind of food. http://www.susunweed.com/Weed_letter_August02.htm#article Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Nothing in that article about onions, aren't onions likely to cause biliousness/colic in the infant? I'd stick with the cooked leafy greens. That's a great article. " Foods rich in carotenes, such as cooked apricots, asparagus, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and all cooked leafy greens -- including kale, collards, mustard greens, beet greens, parsley, watercress, and dandelion leaves -- are considered critical for women wishing to increase or sustain lactation. Carotenes are most available when foods are well cooked: Tomato sauce has more than 2000 times more of them than a fresh tomato. And carotenes are more easily utilized in the body when consumed with plenty of fat.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 I know everyone is different - I breastfed 3 children on all kinds of hot, spicy food - onions and garlic being my favorites! I never suffered from any problems in breastfeeding, either, so I consider myself fortunate! They never had any problems! But I do realize that in some cases colic and other conditions may arise. It just makes me laugh to think about what my babies had to " eat " and today they are healthy 20+ yr.
