I would really love to hear lactnetters discuss the question about nutrition
that Marianne asked.

As a dietitian, I am asking myself this very question. I have started
studying more about food sensitivities (not just the traditional IgE
allergies), and next on my line of professional development will be PCOS.
Both these conditions have come to my attention because they often (and
unnecessarily) discourage breastfeeding.

So tell me, what are some of the nutrition questions you often come across?
What challenges do you face? What puzzles you the most? What resources have
helped you?
