what can i eat/not eat when breastfeeding?

Hi,

i am breastfeeding my 10 day old baby, i keep forgetting to ask midwife about things i shouldn't eat when breastfeeding, i know you should continue to stay away from peanuts but i keep reading different things, some say to eat as you did when you were preg, so avoid things like soft cheese, mayo etc and others say just eat balanced diet!

Is it now ok to eat everything? how about spicy food? i've heard it can give them upset tummy!! and MIL says i shouldn't eat grapes!!!!??????!!

Help! i'm dying to have some stilton cheese LOL
