gas causing foods breastfeeding

Yeah to an extent. Only a percentage does. I kept my diet the same as it always was before bein pregnant.

I have never heard of it causing gas. I drink it sometimes. But I cant say if it causes her to have gas cuz she has colic, so she has tummy issues anyway.

I would just like to know if there were any foods fellow mommys to be were advised to stay away from during breastfeeding, or any foods they were advised to take to help the whole process! All comments are greatly appreciated! Hope you are doing well with your babies in the bellies.

It depends on the baby. I EBF my daughter for 8 months and didn't have to avoid anything because nothing made me sick. You obviously can't go crazy on chocolate and junk foods, limit caffeine, no alcohol and if you do you have to pump and dump for a few hours, no smoking or drugs, etc etc. Some foods will cause baby discomfort, as what you eat pretty much passes into the breastmilk. For example, dairy can make some babies sick, others can't handle broccoli, onions, etc etc.

i have been experiencing nausea after eating certain foods. Is there some foods i should avoid eating like fried foods or hamburger? why do i have gas all the time?

Does breastfeeding make your baby gassy like formula? Will I need to buy gas drops?

Alcohol and certain meds of course, try to limit spicy foods and foods that cause gas until you know how baby will react to them.

The above feeding method follows how some breast feed infants are feed only breast milk until about 9 months old then are introduced regular finger foods. At about 6 months old, then slowly reintroduce foods and see how she does. Hoped this helped you.

it gave me vomiting etc..

so i heard theirs some foods you cant eat while breastfeeding what are they ??

Also I am breastfeeding and my colostrum/breast milk gives him really bad gas, it smells horrible and hid first real poop was thick and green... is it bc of what I'm eating? What shouldn't I eat while I'm breastfeeding?

t know what your diet is like but you should maybe keep a diary of the foods you eat and see what might be causing the gas. Do you drink alot of carbonated drinks, eat a lot of fruit and vegetables?

Could be irritation to some foods. Fiber foods often has this result in many. Lactose intolerance is another offender, even just oil or fats in food. The best way to identify what causes it is to pretty much cut out almost all foods limiting to just a few things that don't cause gas. Then ever 2-4 days try 1 new food just once and see if you get gas over the next 2 days. Then repeat. It can take a while to test all foods this way. It works though.

I heard that if your breastfeeding you gotta watch what you eat. That you can't eat hot Cheetos cuz it does I don't know what to the baby. Is it true?

When you are breastfeeding some foods that produce gas (cabbage family, onions, broccoli and beans) may have an effect on the baby, so just eat small amount or avoid them. Hoped this helped you.

My hubby and i were having a talk, Cuz i plan on breastfeeding. I'm Mexican and have a very strong love for HOT food.. like really hot. He says I can't eat hot food while I'm breastfeeding. Is that true? I'm dying here Cuz since June 25 I been on bed rest with trying to prevent preterm labor my dr. Told me no hot food Cuz it's known to help cause labor. So i was so excited to eat hot food again when I have my handsome little man..

You should first see a doctor about your problem no doubt. But also what helps with gas is eliminating foods that cause you gas. Taking Gas-X will help. If your gut is low in good bacteria it can be helpful. Buy Activia or Dannon Yogurts and eat sauerkraut. My doctor put me on an elimination diet to help me find out what foods were causing me gas. I just posted this website under another post. Look under diets, but please get a check up. www.gicare.

My baby girl will be 8 weeks and 5 days on Monday. Yesterday I was breastfeeding her and at first she was fine drinking away, but like 20 minutes into the feeding she started getting shaky(sp), nervous like and started taking her mouth away from my nipple but then she would look for it again. Does this mean I'm not producing enough milk, and leaves her looking for more? I switched her to the other breast and she did the same thing.

About 30 minutes to 1 hr after feeding him he has a lot of gas and goes to the bathroom. Everytime he poops he has a bit of gas afterward and his poop is normal looking. He is two weeks old today. Is it normal for him to have gas and poop loudly every time?

I know onion makes me gassy when im pregnant. Just try eliminate the foods that could be causing it. Things that dont effect you normally can mess with you while your pregnant.

Also, try not to eat fast because you can unintentionally swallow a lot of air causing the gas and discomfort. If there are certain foods that seem to worsen your symptoms, try to avoid them for now. You should also talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for anti-nausea medicine like Zofran. You can take a dose at night which will help alleviate the nausea. They may also suggest pepcid to help with the gas/reflux.

Have a balance diet, drink a lot of water and avoid spicy foods. To avoid gas make sure that you are eating well. Dont pump when u are hungry, eat something first. Breastmilk does not cause constipation. And dont forget to burp your baby.

m sorryfor posting this question on pregnancy forum, but I need help from experienced mothers....what did uguys use with colic/gas pains? What worked for you? She seems to cryfrom around 6 to 10 and I don't know what to do anymore...it has been like that for 2 days and ihave been giving her little tummys gas drops, but its not helping much... any suggestion will be appriaciated...

Gerber makes something called colic drops. They are probiotic drops that help build up the good bacteria in the digestive tract and will help relieve gas. You can also bicycle the legs and make sure you burp frequently during feedings. Also I'd you eat any foods that cause gas it'll cause him to have gas too. Try to limit things like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, beans, and don't take in excessive dairy.

s fine. Eat as much as you want. I eat spicy foods all the time.

Bookworm, it's safe. But if you're having to resort to using it, it sounds like you're experiencing a lot of gas production and it's uncomfortable. Have you looked for the underlying cause? Are there other symptoms going on? Many times when someone produces a fair amount of uncomfortable gas it could be due to a food/foods that their system can't process well. Have you tried to exclude foods to see if that could be causing the problem?

We figured out what was wrong. She was sleepy because after she calm down and went to sleep. She woke up an hour later and ate with no problem.
