Bad diet whilst EBF

I'm not proud of myself, but I had bad food habits before being pregnant so I've really struggled to get into good habits since having my LG. How much does a bad diet affect breast milk? I cook 3 meals a day for my family at home, so they aren't the problem, it's more so snacking. I can eat so much chocolate every day (which I know is bad), crisps, sweets etc. Its the snacking! I just ate a large bar of chocolate and I'm thinking it was stupid, not just for me, but for the baby/my milk 😔

I don’t have any advice but I’m the same, I can’t stop eating chocolate!!

It doesn’t matter at all for your milk. Keep eating that chocolate! 😊 https://laleche.org.uk/breastfeeding-and-a-mothers-diet-myths-and-facts/

Milk is made from your blood not your stomach contents - enjoy the snacks! x

I'm loving this thread! ❤️

Same 🫣

Same here! I look forward to a cup of tea and a load of chocolate and biscuits after dinner as a well deserved treat!

@Linda Hahaha! Is 11am too early for a chocolate? 👀😉
