[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spinach Mac and Cheese is so good:  http://www.marthastewart.com/344920/spinach-mac-and-cheese

Also, Indian food is great.  Some Chana Masala or Channa Saag with a side of rice, raita and naan.  It keeps well and is soo tasty![/quote]

I woudlnt bring Indian food to a nursing mom. [/quote]
Why not?[/quote]

Because the spiciness can affect the baby. [/quote]

Right. Because Indian moms abstain from eating for the first 12-15 months to not affect the baby.  :roll:

as an Indian mom of two, they are VERY careful what they eat the first three months. No "heavy" lentils like chickpeas, kidney beans, only masoor dal (can't think of the english name, pink lentils), rice, light on spices, and several other things (based on Ayurveda). So, as a new Indian mom who LOVES Indian food, your Chana Masala and Chana Saag would go int the trash, or the rest of the family would eat it. So the above poster was right, you have to be careful what food you bring to a nursing mom. Personally, [b]I liked a quinoa pilaf with veggies, or a light soup, something not cheesy and heavy[/b]. [/quote]

If someone gave me a light soup for dinner after my baby was born, I'd ask them where the rest of the dinner was  :shock: . I was ravenous when nursing, and the sleep-deprivation also makes you (and your spouse) super hungry.

I'm also an Indian-American mom, and have a feeling PP's rules are based more on custom/beliefs. [/quote]
