Think should be ok? I didn't eat it daily but I ate it really often (like 3-4 times a week). Am still eating it. I love papaya!

yeah i heard of papaya causing jaundice...and some spices they use in malay and indian cuisine...but i really dont know
papaya is supposed to help in producing milk right?
whatever it is , eat in moderation lor....personally i do take a fair amount of papaya...like once to twice a week...like half a papaya (as in u add all the amount that i can eat in a week).... then i will get sick of the aftertaste in the mouth
yesterday i had watermelon and i felt very bloated...hahah, too much water i guess..
for me, the major no no is oranges...i have been warned by several that few weeks before full term, avoid oranges as it causes phelgm
this advice is from older generation and surprisingly, some new mothers at my workplace...
so i thot just share with u guys!

can take watermelon? my mum forbid me to take, even bananas, she told me dun eat those from philippines & those 'orange'color bananas
i also heard that papaya will cos jaundice..i still eat papaya in my pregnancy but very seldom. watermelon is said to be too "liang" that's y maybe yr mom forbid. my mom forbid me to eat certain bananas... she say is too "liang".. i duno how to differentiate so might as well dun eat at all. hahahaha.. so i havent been eating banana at all in my pregnancy. watermelon i still take cos weather is so unbearable... but limit the intake lo... watever it is take in moderation. i didn't know abt the orange will cos phelm... n had been taking almost daily during chinese new year... the moment i heard from my cousin... i immediately stop eating.. i rather play safe.. hehehe. bb's health is more important...

Actualy, even for adults, if we take too much fruits that are yellow or orange in colour... like bananas, orange, mango, papaya etc etc... our skin will be more yellowish... tis is wat i heard fr a teacher... so i gues for bb wil also b lor...

but i did not touch any single bit of watermelon leh....tot its a banned fruit?
i ate papaya like no one's business. my boy din get juandice
i also drank orange juice non-stop, my boy dun hv phelgm lei.
papaya n orange n alot of vitamins which help build strong immune system
actualli, there are nutritional evidences to support alot of foods that chinese say cannot take.
maybe tt's y chinese kids always seem more weak compared to the angmoh kids.

I was told not to eat too much papaya when I was preggie too cause it will cause baby to have jaundice. anyway, my baby came out slight yellowish though I eat in moderate. I guess its also up to individual bah. My SIL ate lotsa papaya but her newborn did not have jaundice at all.

papaya, as i said i dint overeat
but baby had jaundice...dont think its related to papaya
first, i had jaundice when i was born
second, asians tend to get jaundice more
so i guess just dont overeat
and for the watermelon part....anyone can advise??

maybe coincidental.
but during my pregnancy days, watermelon was a banned fruit. (According to the old wives tales)
