25. What foods to avoid when breastfeeding09 Aug 202300:17:44

Answering your question! We are not normally a fan of focusing on what to cut out (we'd much rather focus on what foods to include while breastfeeding), but we want to share 5 foods that you might want to consider and be mindful of.

This is the second of three episodes looking at what we eat (and drink!) when breastfeeding. We're giving you practical answers (backed by the latest research), so you can be confident in what you're eating while you're breastfeeding.

In this episode, we cover:
- Do recommendations on food safety from pregnancy carry over to breastfeeding?
- Can I have chocolate?
- What drinks can be included and others to avoid?
- What do to if we feel like we can't stop eating certain foods and out of control

You can also look to an earlier episode, Episode 20. How can you boost your milk supply?

In our breastfeeding and food mini-series, over the next three episodes, we'll be looking at lactation cookies, answering common questions about what changes you may need to make to your eating when breastfeeding and busting other myths.

If you are wondering about alcohol and breastfeeding, you can read more here from Australian Breastfeeding Association.
