About Bridgette Wagner Expertise I can answer questions on breastfeeding basics, dealing with engorgement, dealing with low milk supply, dealing with an overbundant supply, picking out a good pump and making it work, how to breastfeed and keep a career, how to do certain positions, how to make a good latch, along with answering so much more on the topic.
Experience I am a mother of a toddler who nursed up until 18 months and then self-weaned and an infant who I'm exclusively nursing at the time. I enjoy researching all that I can about breastfeeding as I have a passion for it and believe that every woman is capable of succeeding, if only with a little help.
Question How long does it take for foods that you eat to come through breastmilk and how long does it take to rid of these foods?
Answer It takes 2-6 hours for the food that you eat to pass into the breast milk. If you eat a dinner around 5:00pm and see symptoms of a fussy baby around 9:00pm then start wondering if what you ate may have caused the baby to be fussy.
After the 6th hour the milk will be passed into your milk and out through your breasts.
