Is poppy seed safe during breastfeeding?

There is a lot of advice and tips for eating during pregnancy and breastfeeding. What not to eat while breastfeeding? In the period during pregnancy, certain dietary principles apply, which are related to the diet of pregnant women. Despite the restrictions, even when breastfeeding, a healthy and balanced diet is important. It is important to remember a fundamental thing while breastfeeding. The quality of the breast milk you feed your baby is also influenced by what the mother herself consumes . There are foods that can even affect its taste, foods that promote milk production or, on the contrary, can slow it down. However, radical restrictions on eating habits are not necessary in the standard case after breastfeeding, and it is not necessary to limit yourself excessively. And what about poppy seeds during breastfeeding?

Poppy is considered a food with a high calcium content. It even contains more calcium than cow's milk. You will usually read on the Internet that poppy seeds are not suitable during breastfeeding because they are a strong allergen . Similar to for example nuts, peanuts, strawberries, pineapple or chocolate. However, there are mothers who will eat a quantum of chocolates while breastfeeding, while others will enjoy a bowl of peanuts and nothing bad will happen.

Every food is a potential allergen . If you know that poppy seeds caused an allergic reaction in you before pregnancy, definitely avoid eating them even while breastfeeding. Of course, new allergies can appear during pregnancy or after childbirth , because a woman's body goes through many hormonal changes. Doctors or nutritionists warn against strong allergens such as poppy and recommend that they be omitted from the diet during breastfeeding, at least during the first few months of breastfeeding. The smaller the child, the more sensitive he is to certain food components. If you do try poppy seeds, watch for possible allergic reactions of you or your baby. If you find that the food is not good for you, simply remove it from your diet, and this also applies to poppy seeds during breastfeeding. It also applies, everything in moderation.

Most of the mothers in the discussion agree that no food should be stopped completely. The women advise that in their case there were no allergic reactions or any negative effects on breastfeeding or milk quality. They often make the argument that almost everything can be considered an allergen. In the event that digestive problems or other allergies appear after consuming a specific food, it is advisable to discontinue it only then.
