This is only my own personal experience...
DS #1, I ate healthy and avoided things that would possibly cause him gas or upset tummy. I felt good too! He was a great baby, rarely fussed, ate, slept, got nice and chubby!
DS#2, I ate crap. I ate junk and whatever was quick (ie: bowl of cereal for lunch). He was not a fun baby - fussy, projectile vomitting, woke up round the clock to eat for months... (he still got chubby and it's a good thing he was cute!)
So, do I think think "junk in, good out"? No. I say "junk in, junk out" You won't be doing yourself or your baby any favours by consuming junk, I know too many moms who complain about being sleep deprived and their nursing babies never sleep, but they drink 4 large caffeinated latte's a day... no brainer to me!
Personally, I wish I paid more attention (I was in survival mode and dealing with the loss of a family member). I later realized that DS#2 has a milk intolerance and what I was eating didn't help him while I was nursing... I have some guilt about it all...
I was always led to believe (by the nurses, LC's, docs...) that what you consume comes out in the breast milk.
