pistachios breastfeeding????

Question

Is it bad to eat Pistachios while breastfeeding?? I ate a few today and now was thinking about it and wasnt sure if it is bad for the baby or not??

Answer 1

You are not supposed to eat peanut while breastfeeding, but not sure about the pistachios. Babies can be exposed to the enzymes from the peanuts in the breast milk and then when they are older and have peanut butter for the first time they are having allergic reactions, which usually happens after at least their 2nd known exposure.

Answer 2

When I was breast feeding my baby I ate peanuts and other nuts and it necer bothered my son. Actually everything that I ate bothered him except for that so that was really the only protein that I got into my body for 3 months that I breast fed.

Answer 3

That should be okay. Just watch for gassiness or fussiness from your baby. I ate pretty much anything I wanted to and it never affected my babies. Just watch out for gas inducing foods which can make baby gassy.

Answer 4

you can eat anything while breastfeeding. the only reason people will warn you about nuts is if you have a history of nut allergies in your family. otherwise, you are perfectly safe. now, the things you eat and drink may give your baby gas. that is a different story. ( oh and of course i don't mean alcohol.)

Answer 5

I don't see why it would be bad for the baby. Nuts are a good source of protein and they have a quality that prevents cancer.

Answer 6

You should be fine, just watch your baby for any reactions.

Answer 7

You can eat pretty much anything you want while you are breastfeeding.
