How long does the food I eat affect my breast milk?
Should I dump my breast milk after eating spicy food?
Yes, it's fine to eat spicy food while you're breastfeeding. Traces of what you eat enter your milk, but it shouldn't unsettle your baby if you eat spicy food. In fact, it may benefit your baby. If your breastfed baby seems upset or irritable, you could try eating a milder diet to see if makes a difference.
