Babies: 0 - 3 Months

BFing Moms: What foods can you not eat?

I have noticed I can't eat broccoli or anything with the slightest touch of garlic in it.
If I do-- she gets horrible gas and is really irritable.

What foods did you have to give up?

Re: BFing Moms: What foods can you not eat?

  • orange juice!

    I avoid milk just in case though.

  • Loading the player...
  • onions and garlic have been fine for us, thankfully. Love me some onions.
  • I remember I made the mistake of ordering yellow curry with chicken.  It completely slipped my mind when I ordered and the baby paid me back big time that night.
  • Milk, Cheese, most dairy, BBQ sauce, Spag. Sauce, Tomatoes.. And limit caffiene intake to 1 8oz can daily for lunch.

  • Dairy. DS has a sensitivity that makes his stool green and mucousy, sometimes with blood mixed in.

    You might want to try the broccoli/garlic again once your DD is 3 months old. She most likely doesn't have an allergy and babies get way better at handling their gas by then. No more late night grunt sessions!

  • Still in testing mode but it appears as though she has a hard time with fruit... blueberries, cherries... oh and pre-preg I had a serious milk intolerance, so I'm avoiding milk too.

    I need someone to create a bland BFing menu for me. I am so crazy hungry and going to the store is usually out of the question.

    GL. Interested in seeing the responses.

  • I'm curious how everyone is figuring out what foods are disagreeing w/ LO. How long before the food you eat is turned into breast milk? I haven't been keeping track of anything, but now that DD is getting fussy more often, I wonder if she's struggling with what I'm eating.

  • I learned the hard way that cabbage/sauerkraut is a huge no-no.

    Nothing!! I've been eating just about everything I enjoy and DS seems to be fine. He poops/pees well, laughs a lot, & sleeps very well. After I just read all the foods other BF moms had to give up, I'm feeling totally blessed... cuz I eat lots lot of  Japanese & Korean foods (*note: beans, pickles, garlic, onion, kimchi & other spicy stuff), stinky French cheese like Epoisses (DH is French..and we really love CHEESE!) and lots of other dairy foods..

    Perhaps I should start watching what I eat from now on? I did notice though how smelly it was when DS pooped this morning... hmmm.. must've been the beans or cheese I had last night.. ;-)

  • With DD I was dairy/soy/nut/egg free for almost most of the year.  I was also wheat free for a few months.
    This time around I was dairy/soy/nut free for two months and wheat/egg free for a month before we had to switch to Elecare.  I'm still not sure what made him had funky diapers in the end.  I'm still really sad about it.  I also avoided all gassy stuff veggies/etc - did major research, because he was so sensitive.

  • I gave up caffeine for awhile, but noticed no difference.

    One time I had a really spicy burrito and noticed blood in her stool (just a little) the next day, so I'm keeping spicy at a medium. No problems since.

    Ditto the question

  • Hot sauce. One day I ate something with REALLY hot sauce in it, and the next day DD screamed every time I tried to nurse her. Poor thing.... I didn't realize what was happening until quite late in the day. The hot sauce had made my milk taste bad :(
