True, but cutting all lactose out of my diet helped him. There is lactose in breast milk and there are the professional opinions are 50/50 on whether cutting lactose out of mothers diet will make any difference.

It did with Jake and I started introducing dairy back into my diet and he is ok (unless I go crazy and eat lots in one day).... ]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:46:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=972306&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#972306 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=971823&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#971823 Author: Jackie86

ooooo just remember my MW told me as well that tomatoes (uncooked) and fresh strawberries can make them upset too, I think it has something to do with the seeds, not sure. She also told me some foods that are high in acid can upset baby like orange juice. I don’t eat these things, oranges give me migraines. ]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:54:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=971823&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#971823 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=971818&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#971818 Author: Jackie86

Every baby is different, I was so worried about it too, I’m not BF but I am still expressing and my little man seems to react to CHOCOLATE (the hardest thing I’ve ever had to give up ) It's ok if I eat small amounts but keep the chocolate bars away or he's screaming and not sleeping. I found this out when he was a week old; I through it was the dairy thing! Good to see I’m not alone!]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:48:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=971818&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#971818 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=971728&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#971728 Author: T_Rex

I find the lists funny... if curry was an issue (for example) then there must be A LOT of cranky babies in India.

I think every baby is different and its trial and error... Jake couldnt tolerate eggs in the first 8 weeks (I was sooo disappointed, I was desperate for soft yolks by the end of my pregnancy).

Lactose bothers him so I had to avoid dairy until I got pregnant and he seems ok and that was about it.

Everything else was fine!]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:33:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=970982&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#970982 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=967778&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#967778 Author: RinTinTin

Tomato stuff and dairy products.

Another thing to use as a guideline for eliminating foods is what effects you, DH/DP or your immediate family.

I had to cut out dairy, wheat and tomatoes from my diet when BF. DH gets reflux from tomatoes and is wheat intolerant also. BIL (DHs brother) is dairy intolerant.

Only if baby is showing signs would I eliminate however, again trial and error is all you can do really.]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 08:54:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=960866&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#960866 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=960843&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#960843 Author: ElfsMum

i wondered about this too as my first had cows milk protein allergy...number two seems fine so far(4 weeks)... though i have been avoiding too much caffeine...but having said that i ate a heap of choc and he slept better than normal lol.. i think it's sometimes hard to tell at this young age too as they are often unsettled for a few hours etc..!:)

but yeah as the others have said seems to be trial and error:) I'm another who is having a much better time of feeding this time around!:)

CABBAGE! Oh, dear lord - I learned it the hard way. hourly wakings on the night of eating it with a very fussy, unsettled bubba. Also - Ryan can't tolerate much dairy so if your bubs is having trouble the first thing I would eliminate is dairy for 2 weeks and see if it makes a difference. Dairy is quite a common intolerate for real littlies]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:25:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=960633&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#960633 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=951429&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#951429 Author: fionae

Tomato seems to cause some problems for Anthony too. That and egg.

I've found each baby different...only gave up the windy veges with Alia & only in that colic period. Dairy she was fine with plus all the rest. Plus slept through from 9 weeks.

Cooper on the other hand different kettle of fish all together. Reflux, eczema, wheezing etc Still doens't sleep through the night & is on losec.

I guess if you have a pretty allergy free family then you should be fine to eat pretty much anything. A friend eats curry's etc & her baby is good as gold. ]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:56:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=923469&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#923469 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=922563&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#922563 Author: surfergirl

The only thing I had to be careful of was drinking too much orange juice - other then that, I ate (and still eat) everything! Onion, garlic, lots of chilli and curry - YUM, No way I wanted to give them up. I ate them the whole way through pregnancy as well, I think she was used to the spices....]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:55:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=922207&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#922207 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=922173&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#922173 Author: AandCsmum

All those foods that make you windy

I think every woman and baby is different when it comes to this, and what affects some babies, might not effect others, but in saying that, there are some things that you probably hear about more often!    Mine is definitely chocolate!   Every time I have chocolate, he is so cranky it's just not funny.   

I haven't seemed to notice anything else really.

Congrats on the breastfeeding!   I didn't manage to breastfeed my first, so this is all new to me too.    So far so good!

I'm sure lots of the other experienced breastfeeding mums have more to offer than me.    ]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:58:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=922159&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#922159 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31344&PID=922057&title=foods-that-badly-affect-bf#922057 Author: rachndean
