Pumping/BFing mommies... a ? - a little TMI

OK... so to help move things along a little in the bathroom today, I ate Kashi cereal that has flax seed in it, not thinking Chat Icon of how/if it was going to affect her.

Well I just came out of the restroom, and things went swimmingly (pun totally intended).

Do you think that the milk that I pumped today should be dumped? I mean... will it give her the runs worse?

What do you think?

I've eaten really odd things and nothing has affected my DS. If you think it might be too much, mix that batch with another to dilute it.

hmmmmmm...i can't really seewhy you would have to pump and dump? i had to take metamucil for a while and the ped said it was perfectly fine while bf and i would think that would be even worse right? and, i had put a post on here about it at the time and a number of ladies responded that they took some sort of fiber supplements while bf.

check out kellymom.com
they have so much info. according to them the only thing that is passed on to the baby that causes ill effects come from proteins. for example in milk or eggs. The idea thar broccoli will give baby gas since it can give mommy gas is an old wives tale. or at least that is what I have read.

I find that DD is slightly affected by some things I eat. I would check kellymom and also I think what one of the above posters said about mixing with another batch would be a great idea.

The Ped told me that everything I ate would affect DS.

If it bothers you it will most likely affect DC.

I would dump it.

I cook with flax daily, its in almost everything we eat...I think she will be fine.

I bf with it in my system and Josh eats food with it.

i agree. i would hate to see you dump unnecessarily.

like others said, i would check kellymom, it's really thorough and a great resource.

Does she seem pretty sensitive to foods you eat? If it were me I would probably pump and dump just to be on the overly cautious side since she is still little and the last thing you want is it to affect her.

I don't think the fiber in the flax gets into the BM- i wouldn't dump it!
