While most fruits are beneficial during breastfeeding, some might cause discomfort for your baby. It's best to observe your baby's reaction after you consume certain fruits.
Here's a list of fruits that some breastfeeding mothers choose to limit or avoid:
-
Citrus fruits: Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit can sometimes cause fussiness, spitting up, or diaper rash in babies due to their acidity.
-
Strawberries: Some babies may be sensitive to strawberries.
-
Kiwifruit: Similar to strawberries, kiwifruit can also trigger sensitivities in some infants.
-
Pineapple: Pineapple contains bromelain, which can potentially irritate some babies.
It's important to note that every baby is different. What bothers one baby might not affect another. If you suspect a particular fruit is causing issues for your baby, try eliminating it from your diet for a few days to see if symptoms improve. You can then try reintroducing it in small amounts to assess your baby's tolerance. Always consult with your doctor or a lactation consultant for personalized advice.
