    Chances are he'll like it.  Most babies like the different tastes of their mother's milk.  If anything, I would just write on the bag "chinese food" if you are freezing it, just in case.

    My LO seems to love curry :)

    Oh dear, I was hoping for an answer too, I was just wondering this...I ate Chinese food last night and LO was fussy, fussy fussy.  Who knows if that was why but I have a feeling since it was the first out of the ordinary food I had eaten since her birth...

    I don't know but I do know that garlic and onions and pepper bother my baby and I have just this week been trying to ease them back in my diet because anything that tastes good has those things in it. I can't eat anything that isn't homemade (which is fine except I can't always get the time to cook because I am busy with her).  I don't throw away milk unless I drink a beer because I feel I worked so hard to make it.  I would label it too so if your baby does have a problem then you'll know not to use that milk.

    Certain foods (not spices), broccoli, onions, and cauliflower for example can cause tummy troubles.  Most babies are fine, but for others you may need to eliminate some foods. For example; I am not allowed chocolate :(  makes her scream!

    ETA:  I bet msg would cause issues.  I have also noticed fussiness with processed foods.

    I purposely eat spicy and unusual foods so DD gets used to them.  She hasn't had an issue.

    I do know people who have had to cut out broccoli, cabbage, onions, etc. but I have never heard of spicy food being an issue.
