A. dear mum, you can surely have watermelon and cucumber while breastfeeding. what you eat does not affect baby digestion or cause cold and cough to baby. have a homemade balanced diet having variety of food groups especially seasonal fruits and vegetables even green leafy vegetables.

A. hello..It is better for new mothers to avoid cucumber during confinement. Cucumber is usually termed as a "cooling" vegetable which can cause indigestion in new mother. If you are breastfeeding, this may cause diarrhea in your baby.

A. yes it is safe. there is no such food restrictions in your diet it's just that whatever you eat, just make sure to eat in a limit and avoid junk foods. other than that you can have all types of vegetables and fruits
