ANSWER: TRUE

The type of food a mum consumes can affect the make-up of her breastmilk. We know that flavours from your diet go through breastmilk but food proteins and other food chemicals do as well.*

Your breastmilk may occasionally smell like the food you have eaten (eg garlic). This is one of the good things about breastfeeding. Your baby is learning about the flavours in your family diet even before they start solids!**
