Did you know that what you eat while breastfeeding will flavor your breast milk? In fact, this is one way that babies acquire a taste for certain types of foods, so don't be afraid to add a variety of spices and flavors to your meals. You may notice that some days your babe could appear more gassy or irritable, so take note of what you were eating that day in case that was the something bothering baby's tummy. Typically, onions, cabbage and broccoli have a bad rap for being baby gas-inducers.
