Breastfeeding FAQs

If spicy food was part of your normal healthy diet before pregnancy, there is no reason you will need to stop it during pregnancy. Symptoms of morning sickness early in your pregnancy, or heartburn during later stages of your pregnancy as your baby grows and places pressure on your abdomen, may affect your taste preferences and tolerance of some foods. This might just mean you will need to pause these until after the baby is born. This will be an individual response and not necessarily related to spicy food.
