Garlic
Garlic is safe and delicious while breastfeeding! It can flavor your breast milk, which some babies actually prefer. No supply concerns at culinary amounts.
Studies have shown that garlic compounds pass into breast milk and can change its flavor — and some research found that babies nursed longer when mom ate garlic. It's rich in beneficial compounds and poses no safety risk during breastfeeding. If your baby seems gassy or fussy after you eat a lot of garlic, you can reduce intake, but most babies handle it fine.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
