I didn't avoid any foods but I eat everything in moderation (I have shellfish and seafood occasionally). However for the past week I've been on a cow's milk protein elimination diet because LO has what seems to be constant eczema outbreak on her face and I read cow's milk protein can be one of the more common causes. I'm not convinced if it is since LO doesn't show any other signs of this allergy - she's not fussy, excessively gassy, and sleeps well in general. Having said that, I figured I'd give this a shot to see if it alleviates her itchy face.

Are there any foods that you avoid while breastfeeding? This could be for either medical reasons, personal reason, or you just feel you shouldn't consume. I'm curious to see what everyone does and their reasoning behind it. Who knows - maybe it will help me figure out what might be irritating LO's skin!
