Food poisoning...

Will this hurt the baby if I'm breastfeeding? I think I got it last night from eating Taco Bell. You know, I will never eat it again. My DH and mom got it from Taco Bell at some point. I ate it and like 1.5-2hours later I felt soooo nauseous. I ended up getting sick all night. It was horrible. It's even worse trying to take care of a crying baby at the same time! I was just wondering if it affects the baby? I didn't think it was food poisoning at first, so I was feeding him? I am so worried now!

Im not sure about hurting the baby. But food poisoning usually HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER U EAT.

True food poisoning is pretty serious and you probably just have a 'sick' belly. I don't think that an upset stomach would hurt the baby but not sure about real, diagnosed food poising. I would call the doctor and ask.

According to webmd.com you should call the doctor if you are pregnant and you get food poisoning so I would say the same applies when you are breastfeeding.

And signs food poisoning can take hours and sometimes days. It does not have to be right after you eat.

Hope you are feeling better.
