Question
Can breastfeeding mothers eat pomegranates? Will it affect the baby’s eczema? Can they eat pomegranates while breastfeeding? What are the negative effects of eating pomegranates on breast milk?
Answer
Yes, they can, but not in excess. It’s currently pomegranate season, so it’s okay to consume them in moderation. When breastfeeding, be mindful that if the mother eats too many pomegranates, the baby might have diarrhea. Breastfeeding mothers can eat pomegranates in moderation, as they are rich in vitamin C and can help promote milk production. However, generally speaking, mothers should try to avoid foods that might affect milk production and digestion during this period.
