No way in hell I'd give up chocolate while breastfeeding unless I saw clear evidence of a problem. I'm on month...hmmm...40 or so of breastfeeding total, and I've eaten chocolate the whole time with no problems whatsoever. Whoever told you chocolate was a problem?! Er, yeah. I'm on month 77 g and chocolate has never been a problem for any of my babies. Nor has coffee, nor the occasional beer/glass of wine, nor broccoli, nor tomatoes, nor onions, nor dairy products, nor spicy foods, nor any of the other thousand or so things that someone is bound to tell you you *must* avoid while breastfeeding. All of these things can bother some babies (though, fortunately, even sensitive babies don't usually react to all of them simultaneously), but you wait until you see evidence of a reaction before you eliminate the likely culprits from your diet. Until then, just eat like you normally would. -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy."

Or coffee, or spicy food, or garlic, or gassy veggies. Or alcohol. Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread; substitute mailbolt |

I'm glad to hear it isn't always a problem, I'd go nuts for a year without chocolate. |

The good thing is about taking chocolates as a gift, if I don't want to give them....I'll eat them myself! Yeah I wouldn't give them if I wasn't happy, or if I only liked a few I'd make a point of mentioning their names only in the thank you card.

I eat chocolate and Isabella's skin is fine and she has only had 1 teeny, tiny diaper rash in her life (it cleared up in 24 hours). Where did you find this informations? I would sincerely like to know. My midwife, she says it gives a lot of babies rashes and gastric upsets. -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality.

I realised today I'm going to have to hide certain things in the postnatal
ward. A friend of mine just gave birth, and a nurse came in and had a fit because my friend was drinking orange juice, saying "Don't you know it gives babies skin conditions!" Sheesh! I'm committed to breastfeeding, but with people like that I can understand why some mothers give up in disgust & reach for the bottle. "Iuil" wrote in message ... "Amy" wrote Bad news, I just found out if you're breastfeeding you can't eat chocolate because it gives the baby pimples and rashes :-( BS. You don't stop eating anything because you're bfing *until* your baby displays a reaction. Not all babies will react to the same foods. Jean |
