True or false: Certain foods such as oatmeal, barley, brewer’s yeast and pumpkin can increase your milk production.

The correct answer is false

If you’re a nursing mother and you regularly eat spicy or garlicky food, your breastfeeding baby will likely:

The correct answer is become accustomed to flavors in the foods your family eats

Breastfeeding mothers are likely to:

The correct answer is feel hungrier than usual

A big misconception about breastfeeding is that it allows for effortless weight loss, but an increase in appetite and eating can often offset the calories you burn through breastfeeding.

Drinking coffee when you’re breastfeeding is:

That’s about the amount in two cups of coffee. Be wary of soda, chocolate, tea and medications that can add extra caffeine to your daily total.
