To begin with, it is better to manage yellow varieties. For example, eat a quarter of a vegetable in the morning and watch the baby's condition.

So, let's sum up, when you can eat tomatoes during breastfeeding:

• Not earlier than 2-3 months after delivery. You can, of course, before, but this is at the discretion of my mother.
• When in the market or in the store you can buy ripe seasonal vegetables without nitrates and GMOs.
• If after eating a small piece of a tomato, the baby and mom did not develop an allergic reaction.
