Can a nursing mother eat okra — it's my first baby and I have no idea, can you help?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Everything feels new with your first baby, and asking these questions is very natural — don't worry, most mothers wonder about this.

Yes, a nursing mother can eat okra. Although okra is known as a gas-producing vegetable, every mother's digestive system works differently. If you eat okra and don't notice discomfort, excessive gas, or fussiness in your baby, you can eat it comfortably. If you do notice a change in your baby, take a break for a while and try again — this is the safest way to understand your baby's response.

So in short: try it, watch, and enjoy. 🥰

If you have any other concerns, feel free to ask — I'm here.
