Oh, flea, also -- I figure I'll bring it up in a couple of weeks, on the assumption that they'll be figuring stuff out and dealing with family members until then. Sound right?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Jesse, IIRC from the beginning reading I've done, some babies are less than keen on mom's breast milk after an onion- or garlic-heavy meal, but many more babies don't care. And most of what the mom eats gets processed heavily in the making of breast milk, with the potentially problematic stuff making it through in only trace amounts, so the crazy pregnancy dietary restrictions are lifted. Plus, yay!, the horrible maternal heartburn thing is a pregnancy-only problem -- once the baby is no longer inside the woman, crushing her stomach into halfway up her esophagus, she can usually go right back to eating whatever she ate before.
So, in short, unless you were planning on bringing your friend a carton of Kools, some gin and a bag of crack, you're probably fine (also maybe avoid the garlic-onion-stinky-cheese pie until the baby is weaned).
However, and I cannot stress this enough, I've read like one and a half books and experienced no actual childbearing or -feeding as yet, so this entire post is really oh so very ex cloaca.

Yeah, if they've got family in town, it's best to wait; it makes it complicated (unless it's a freezable casserole, i.e. winter).
On the other hand, if somebody brought me dinner TODAY I'd be happy. It's never too late...
