Can I eat potato chips while breastfeeding?

During the baking process, not only the nutrients of the potatoes are lost, but a large amount of salt, fat and additives are also added, which is not good for the mother's health. It puts a burden on the mother's stomach and kidneys, causing constipation and obesity, etc. It will also affect the baby's physical health and intellectual development through breastfeeding, causing the baby to get angry and have gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, mothers should be cautious when eating potato chips. It is not a big problem to eat them once or twice occasionally.
