A big vodka and coke 
when I was breastfeeding a midwife told me to avoid, spicy foods, foods with a red coloured sauce, pasta sause, spag bol etc. She also said gassy foods aswell like baked beans/sprouts.
dont know if this is correct or not, I have asked others and no one else got told this.
hope its some help

i was told not to take asprin because it can be bad for baby or drink to much apart from that i think ur ok.
I am learning as I go along. Nobody has told me things to avoid, but there have been things that I have eaten which haven't agreed with LO as he has been lots more upset and windy afterwards. Brocolli, cabbage, raddish and orange juice have all caused a bad night!! The night that I had a curry (although was only a small portion) didn't cause any problems at all.

xxxxIts a matter of opinion.
Nowadays they tell you to avoid the same foods like when you were pregnant. Also most medicines and for drink its no more than 2 glasses of wine. Your LO wont agree with some foods also.
Thiing is, I followed all of this, but what about the people that arent told this information. Or back in the generation before us who had nnever heard of any of this??? I was telling my mum everything I was told in regards to pregnancy and breastfeeding and she look at me like a fruitcake! Said she never avoided anything and it didnt do us any harm. Although common sense make sure your food is well cooked!

Hi
The only food I was told to avoid was salt. A bf councellor told me that Guiness is good for your milk supply
When Olivia used to accept expressed milk through a bottle I enjoyed some wine after her last feed and DH gave her a bottle during the night, the alcohol stays in your milk until the alcohol has left your blood stream.

I enjoyed a pepperoni pizza last night while watching the match - BIG MISTAKE! Was up all night with LO, it obviously didn't agree with him at all!! I have had the odd glass of wine and he's been fine as long as you don't overdo it you should be fine!!

Ella's not so great if I eat really spicy foods, I also try to limit my peanut butter intake. I'll have an odd glass of wine now and again - when I did get drunk one evening she had expressed milk. Also I avoid caffeinated drinks, that's the biggest thing that inflences her!! 
what i did if i was goin out(for a drink) is id express 4 chloe for like a wk b4!! then obv sitter wud give her it 4m a bottle, then wen i got in express again to get rid of the yucky milk as id call it, and express again in the morn n chuck that too, just give her expressed milk till id expressed 2 or 3 times
I had the night from hell last night with Jacob, he was screaming the hosue down till 2am. He only settled after he did 2 very watery poos and a big burp!!!! I can only think that it was the baked beans that I had for tea which could have upset him - so be wary of baked beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
