[quote=Anonymous]New mom who is nursing has to watch out what they eat. Anything and everything crosses to the milk and can cause all kinds of problem for the baby. 
Just to get you started on foods that can cause all kinds of problem from colic to sleep problem to diarrhea in the baby..:

chocolate.
spices (cinnamon, garlic, curry, chili pepper)
citrus fruits and their juices, like oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit.
strawberries.
kiwifruit.
pineapple.
the "gassy" veggies (onion, cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, and peppers)
fruits with a laxative effect, such as cherries and prunes.
Fish. Fish are a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids and are okay to eat in moderation during breastfeeding. ... 
Coffee and Tea. ... 
Alcohol. ... 
Chocolate. ... 
Parsley, Peppermint and Sage. ... 
Garlic. ... 
“Gassy” Foods. ... 
Medicines to Avoid While Breastfeeding.

So back at you.. do you want really to make a new mom more miserable? It is enough to deal with the struggles of the first days and weeks of mothering without added stress of complications from food and results on newborn.

Just give them choice to feed themselves and therefore a baby (as a result) with whatever they are comfortable.

If you start going over the list and try to avoid anything that can make a baby miserable.. starting with onion,
garlic, spices, cabbage etc.. you will be really in a very narrow zone.

If you would press me to bring something, I would bring bagels as others suggested. Least harmful of all the offerings listed. [/quote]
