Breastfeeding, which foods to avoid?

Throughout your pregnancy, you've been careful to avoid a variety of foods and take various precautions to ensure your baby's health. Now that you're breastfeeding, here's what to watch out for.

• Avoid energy drinks, which contain many harmful substances in addition to caffeine.
• Drink coffee in moderation, and choose decaffeinated drinks instead, especially herbal teas.
• If you drink alcohol, do so at least 3 hours before breastfeeding.
• Other foods that are not allowed during pregnancy are now allowed during breastfeeding: sushi, smoked salmon, filet américain, and soft or raw milk cheeses.
