hi jassmine...

i'm not sure whether there's a link bet spicy food & baby having diarrhea...

now, my baby is 3mth old and still on breastmilk. i cant resist spicy food. so i eat them. recently, my baby poo about once in 2-3 days. when i asked doc, he said its ok.

but from wat i know,when breastfeeding,try to avoid caffeine,alcohol, & uncooked food such as sushi...

nothing much to avoid during breastfeeding la.. alcohol, excessive coffee, maybe cabbage n broccoli(coz it makes some babies gassy), medication(gotta make sure its breastfeeding safe)
i found one of the thread on mom started on asking wat food to avoid during breastfeeding: http://idobaby.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19756

Here's a list of medication which are breastfeeding friendly: kellymom.com :: Medications
otherwise, juz let doc knows you are breastfeeding n doc will give you meds tat are safe..

even raw food are fine as long as they are fresh.. i have my doze of salmon sashimi to boost my milk supply... haha

i think depends on baby ba.. i always take curry n spicy food, my DD doesnt reacts to it.. maybe ur baby got a more sensitive tummy lo..

i know got one mummy, her baby sensitive to lactose.. so she cannot drink milk or drink milo (the one with australian recipe)
