A) Get gas and be fussy
B) Not notice any difference in your breast milk
C) Become accustomed to flavors in the foods your family eats
Explanation: The correct answer is C. Become accustomed to flavors in the foods your family eatsFor most nursing mothers, what they eat will not give their baby gas. However, your food choices, such as garlic or spicy foods, may cause your breast milk to taste different to your baby, which he or she may notice. But the flavor change won’t hurt the baby.
Question 7: Breastfeeding mothers are likely to:
