Can a nursing mother eat pears? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read another.

Disagreeing with your mother-in-law about different things you read can really make you nervous — I understand. Let me give you a clear answer: yes, a nursing mother can eat pears. Pears are low-allergen fruit, rich in fiber and vitamins. No current pediatric or nursing authority (AAP, WHO, Turkish Ministry of Health) restricts pears for nursing mothers.
There are just two small points: if your baby has colic, pears, like everything else the mother eats, can cause mild sensitivity in some babies — but that's not universal. Try eating a pear and watch your baby's reaction over the next 6–12 hours; if there's no difference, you can keep eating them comfortably. Also, eating too much on an empty stomach can make digestion a bit harder, but that's about you, not your baby.
I think what your mother-in-law is saying is probably an old "causes gas" belief; you can reassure her by saying "I checked with my doctor and it's fine to eat them." 💛
