Hi Ladies

do you all take ginger during confinement, its well known for removing "wind" off our bodies....

but its also said that its not good for breastfeeding, it will encourage jaudice in your baby thru ur milk?

I took ginger and regretted. My baby was jaundiced for 1 mth. My PD also did say that ginger through breastmilk will cause jaundice.

You can take some lahh... but don't overdo it :)

My baby was also slightly premature so he took longer to expel all the bilirubin in his body. My friend's baby was full term and she took lots of ginger too and her baby was jaundiced for 2 weeks.
