Okay so I love spicy food, and my doctor told me that as long as it doesnt give me heart burn, I can eat spicy food... however for some reason my coworkers (who apparently go their MD licenses when I wasnt looking......) keep telling me not to eat spicy food it will hurt the baby...

I am going to believe my doctor. What do yall think?

[SweetSimpleThings]

Yes, believe your doctor.... millions of people eat spicy curry, spicy mexican food, etc. etc. because that's what the local food is. I don't see how it could possibly hurt your baby.

I eat curry, chilis, even a few jalapenos - the only risk is the heart burn!!

I think after baby comes you have to be a bit careful because some of what you eat will pass through the breast milk - I know people have said they couldn't eat a lot of beans because it would give their little ones gas!!

I think you can eat it so long as you feel fine. I get heartburn just looking at spicy food so it isn't on my menu but go for it and enjoy! that's what I say!

[mommy-to-noah]

I say eat it!!!!!!! and enjoy!

[Oreobaby]

I eat spicy food, in fact, I love spicy food...

I have heard you have to be careful when you breast feed because spicy food can make the baby colicy, but it's not a scientific fact, just something I heard.

Baby moves a lot when I have spicey food...I think she likes it!!

[RJsmama]

I have never heard that. I eat spicy food, I can't imagine why it would be an issue.

[SpydrMnky27]

I eat spicy food. I have never heard that before.

I love spicy foods! That's the thing I craved the most in the first weeks! I can understand the BF thing, but I don't shee what it would do to the baby right now? You should ask them to see what their answer is!

[Gaby&Emmy'sMama]

Na-ah - you can totally eat it!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy it!!!

EW I hate it when people act like they know more than you about something that you've asked your doctor about.
I hate it when people act like they know stuff just cos they heard it somewhere else BLAH lame-o's!!!

Girl eat away!

I've been eating spicy food like crazy and my doc said it was fine. I am supposed to take prilosec every day because they think I have acid reflux, and if I do get heartburn I do take it.

Baby likes spicy food too!
