. A few restrictions: - Kind of healthy, but still Christmas-y - My sister in law just had a baby and is breastfeeding, so no peas and no cabbage; the baby does not digest it. That’s it! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

If the mother is breastfeeding, she’ll be looking for things she can scarf down one-handed. I ate a lot of bars in the newborn period – cereal bars, fruit-and-nut bars, powerbars, etc etc. Maybe your basket could...

My wife and I will be going to Morimoto next weekend for our anniversary and we are probably going to do omakase. Between pregnancy and breastfeeding, my wife has not been able to have sushi (and some types of cooked seafood) for...

I did a research project on this a few years ago. Basically, humans can’t digest lactose (milk sugar) without the enzyme lactase. How much lactase you produce is genetically determined. Because of breastfeeding, all infants...

I love to cook for new parents, but many of my staple ingredients (namely garlic and onions) can upset a breast-feeding baby’s stomach. Broccoli, cabbage, etc. can also be especially irritating. I’ve given new moms...

while breast-feeding). You may hear a lot of poo-pooing of your concerns over food while you are pregnant. Don’t feel like you have to justify yourself BUT when the guy at the cheese counter curls his (French) lip at me for...

pies. Salad is great, wine (Mom may have to stay away if breastfeeding) Dad I’m sure will partake. I love to roast a turkey, easy, don’t have to do a big one, inexpensive, make some traditional stuffing and mashed...

It’s not the milk solids that are the problem, it’s the proteins (I am told). It’s OK, it’s not forever, just until I am done breastfeeding. I’ve got a jar of Ghee in my pantry that stares at me...

places aren’t the most expensive. Any ideas for us? And a few general questions: We’ll be hoping to eat earlyish, like maybe 6:30 or 7 – is this do-able in Paris and do we have to book? And how are they on...
