Who knows what I will be in the mood for, but I just wasn't sure how it transfers over when you are BFing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-859749 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 00:33:15 +0000 lamariniere 859749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor and LC said all food is fine. </p> <p>However, you have to be careful with alcohol and caffeine and time it right if BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-859346 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:59:33 +0000 MamaMoose 859346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You definitely can. I had all these grand illusions of what I was going to have after I delivered but I pretty much had zero interest in food for almost a week after. My mom and hubs had to remind/force me to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-859293 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:13:18 +0000 LaineysMom 859293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Everything in moderation. I didn't drink for the first month until I started pumping so that I had more control over when she was fed and when I made milk.. but I'm a control freak like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858428 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:53:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 858428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah!! I was SO excited after I delivered and they brought in my breakfast - complete with coffee! I looked around like "omg I can *actually* have it now??" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858422 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:51:46 +0000 tysonja 858422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe yes :)! alcohol and caffeine for sure monitor and limit within reason, but the other food stuff (soft serve, deli meats, sushi etc) go for it!! :) although to be honest i've had some during pregnancy, too... just a few bites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858347 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:22:34 +0000 blackbird 858347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My baby is never affected by what I eat. Nothing bothers her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858310 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:06:29 +0000 Rubies 858310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! However, when it came to drinking alcohol, my doctor said it was sort of like drinking and driving. If I had a glass of wine after putting LO down at night, by the time she woke up for a feeding, the alcohol from the wine would have passed through my system by then (3-4 hours-ish?)...</p> <p>As for food, anything is a go. I still drank coffee every morning and drank Coke and stuff without worrying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858295 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:58:37 +0000 autumnlove 858295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858291 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:57:48 +0000 Bookish 858291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on your comfort level and your baby, from what I can tell. Sushi, I haven't heard anything bad about eating while nursing. Alcohol, there are many many opinions but I plan on the safe to drive safe to feed rule (more like 1 drink, wait an hour, etc.). Coffee does pass through but again, it affects some babies and doesn't affect others. </p> <p>I plan on just playing it by ear and seeing what baby and I are comfortable with :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858282 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:55:03 +0000 Bao 858282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's up to you. I limited my coffee and wine intake in the very beginning because of nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-eat-off-limits-foods-once-you-deliver#post-858277 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:53:01 +0000 daniellemybelle 858277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep hearing, "I'm going to have sushi/wine/coffee etc. as soon as the baby is born in the hospital!" But if you are breastfeeding, can you have those things? Is it safer than when you're pregnant? </p>
