This is not a real thing. This is based on some old-fashioned WASPY doctors' horror at all that suspect immigrant food. How on earth do you think the other 95% of the world's population feeds their children? Mothers in Thailand, India, Mexico, Italy, etc. do not spend months (or years!) eating bland Yankee pot roast and boiled potatoes in order to nurse their babies.[/quote]

I would have agreed with you totally until I had my kids. For some reason they were very sensitive to what I ate. Tomatoes, spicy food, chocolate and a few others gave them lots of tummy pain. My daughter turned out to have tons of food allergies, my son just one. Everyone is different though.[/quote]

It IS a thing, and is baby dependent. Although I’m not from any of the countries mentioned, I eat a lot of “ethnic” foods. I had no problem while breastfeeding with spices or “heat”, but my DD was super sensitive to dairy in my diet, as well as caffeine and chocolate. I literally couldn’t eat the amount of chocolate in a one bite brownie, or have a latte,  but I could down sriracha, garlic, cabbage, etc. By the gallon.

So, how these mothers eat is by working around what their babies tolerate, like I did. Of course, this is a while other thread, and not what the OP is asking. There’s nothing wrong with providing “breastfeeding friendly” meals if that’s what the train wants to do, and what the recipient needs and/or wants. [/quote]
