A nursing mother's most careful eating period is usually the first 4-6 months. During this time, while the baby's digestive system hasn't matured yet, gas-producing foods (cabbage, broccoli, onion, legumes), overly spicy foods, and caffeinated drinks can cause baby discomfort. But every baby is different; as long as you don't notice a reaction in your baby, you can try everything in small amounts. From month 6 onward when solids start, the baby is exposed to many foods anyway, so the mother's restrictions naturally ease. But if you've linked a food to a clear reaction (like eczema, intense gas, fussiness), you can cut that food out after checking with your pediatrician.
