how much will breastfeeding continue to limit diet?

So I just read through the post about what everyone is looking forward to (besides their babies, of course) after pregnancy. A ton about food and drink.

 

My question is how much do you still have to watch while you are still breasfeeding? When can you drink alcohol, and how much, because I know it can show up in your milk? Caffeine... how soon after delivery can we go back to a couple cups of coffee or more than a can of pop (if you were only limiting)?

 

And eating.... seafood, lunchmeats, cheeses, etc.... is that all ok while breastfeeding?

 

What about meds? Is it ok to switch back to Ibuprofen and Advil while breastfeeding?

 

I just have no idea about any of this....
