[quote=Anonymous]OP here, and also Indian mom of two. I also nursed each of my kids for 2+ years and ate moderately spicy food through most of it. The only result is that my kids can handle spicier food than most adult Americans.

Yes, we're careful about what eat when we're nursing. We won't eat AS spicy as usual, but it'll still be spicier than the average American diet.

However, what someone eats really depends on the region they are from. Where I am from, we eat lots of dhals and greens - they are considered healing and strengthening after birth - lots of yogurt, considered soothing. Methi, or fenugreek, especially is thought to improve milk production.  We tend to eat light dhals - so examples would be mung dal, toor dhal. We'd avoid channa dhal or chick peas or rajmah (kidney beans) which are considered gas producing (all just hear-say of course, there's no proof of any of this).

Agreed that most people don't follow any of these rules here but I had my mom/mil looking after me post-partum both times so got to be pampered :).

I DID end up making Indian food albeit milder than usual- Alu Palak and Dal Tarka and it was a hit :)

Or at least that's what they told me. I hope its not in the trash :/[/quote]
