After breast feeding my 3 children, I have decided that you can really eat whatever you want!  I know some people swear that certain foods you eat will cause a breast fed baby to have gas. But think about it, bottle fed babies and breast fed infants all have GAS! None of the formulas contain broccoli, or cauliflower or beans or tomatoes and bottle fed babies have gas too. It is just a fact, newborn babies are gassy for the first several months as their digestive tracts mature. And yes, it is stinky too! So I told this dad, good for you for cooking for your wife.  Make her healthy, well balanced meals and throw in a few of her favorite foods.  I would not change anything unless you can definitely correlate that a food ALWAYS makes your baby more uncomfortable (and that is so hard to keep track of). Eat what you want (in moderation) to be healthy and happy. I have no data but feel certain that happier mothers must in some way have an effect on a baby, so at least enjoy mealtime. When I had a colicky baby (previous post), I tried eating only broth and bland foods and with me equally miserable and starving this stressful situation only got worse. Final words, if I was going to try eliminating anything from my diet while breastfeeding to try and help relieve gassy baby, it would be excessive dairy, as there has been some data on this. Remember, everything in moderation. I'm willing to bet that by the time your baby is 4 months old (the magic age) you are not even worried about what you are eating, as you are having too much fun laughing with your baby! What foods (if any) bothered your baby while breast feeding? I would love your comments.  Leave them below. That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.
