@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home,
Not for me!

When my little guy was pretty new, I had garlic fries at this restaurant that used raw garlic on them. Almost immediately, my baby went on a nursing strike. And dh kept smelling this really bad garlic breath and wondering why I hadn't brushed, even though I had--three times. Finally, we figured out the the BABY had garlic breath from my milk. It didn't go away for about 48 hours. When I tasted my milk, it tasted like sugared garlic.

After that, the baby threw a fit when we ate at that restaurant.

When I was pregnant, I sed garlic to treat a yeast infection. I've always been prone to yeast "down there," but the commercial treatments didn't help at all! My midwife had me stick a whole, pealed garlic clove "inside" (iykwim) before I went to bed. It took a little practice to get it, ahem, high enough that it wouldn't fall out while I was asleep. In the morning I'd get rid of the clove. I used a fresh clove each night, and my infection was gone after three nights! I haven't had a yeast infection since!!!!!!!!

This post has been so helpful to me. I've eaten garlic toast every morning and feel great!

If you preserve garlic, like freezing or pickling does it still work or should it just be used to cook with at that point?

@Heather H., That's a good suggestion, Heather. I'm going to look more into exactly how the botulism grows and figure out exactly what needs to be done to prevent it in the garlic oil.

@Elisa @ blissfulE, Wouldn't it be interesting if that was true? I have definitely read that breastfed babies experience lots of different tastes based on what their mom eats, and so it's ideal if mom eats a wide variety and especially those things (like the more bitter, green veggies) that kids have a tendency not to like. It's supposed to increase the chances that the child will develop a taste for them more easily!

I read somewhere (sorry, I can't remember where!) that children whose mamas eat garlic will breastfeed longer (not necessarily longer each feed, but longer as in months of breastfeeding). This was an example given to illustrate that babies often like experiencing different flavours in their breastmilk.
