Can't eat while breast feeding?

I don't think so? Xx

ETA: there are some articles online (not on reliable sites) that say a whole list of foods mothers shod avoid while BF including all beans, not just black beans because they wil make baby gassy. This is unscientific nonsense and its very similar to info put out by formula companies years ago to discourage mothers from BF. black beans are a good source of protein and I have read suggestions they may have a slight milk increasing effect.

If that were true, we'd be in serious trouble. I'm a black bean addict-- they're in something I eat at least once a day. Usually twice. I might go eat some for a bedtime snack with some cumin and chili powder, actually.
