Does eating fish during pregnancy cause allergies in babies?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor, I am in the breastfeeding period for two months, can I eat fish? Will my baby be allergic?

Doctor's answer:

Shouldn't it be? Eating fish can help increase milk production, so the baby should not be allergic. Unless the baby is allergic to seafood or fish, the baby is prone to allergies! Anyway, I have been eating fish since the baby was born. The baby is now seven months old and there are no problems. During breastfeeding, a mother's nutrition is very important. Because the baby's healthy development depends on the nutrients in breast milk. Some mothers are very picky about what they eat during the postpartum period. Spicy, stimulating seafood, and other foods are not recommended. If you do eat them, it should be in very small amounts, as you are afraid of affecting the baby.
