Chocolate milk causing baby to be gassy?

My LO is 6 weeks old and has been pretty good and hardly fusses at all. The last 3 days he is constantly fussy even while being held. The only thing in my diet that may have done it would be drinking chocolate milk. I have eaten chocolate and I drink milk almost daily. Could it just be chocolate milk that he's sensitive too?

Re: Chocolate milk causing baby to be gassy?

  • Yes definately. Chocolate or anything with caffeine can cause them to be gassy and cranky. So far I haven't noticed this with my daughter but my first son it would happen and I had to change and watch what I ate.

  • She could also be going through a growth spurt. From what I've read (and my pediatrician told me today) they tend to be really fussy when going through growth spurts. Is she eating a lot too?
  • I've heard chocolate will do it which is soooooo unfortunate
  • Dang it! I love chocolate milk!! Guess we'll just stick to the regular stuff!!

  • Noooooooooo!!!! :((
  • I can eat chocolate because of that! I was adviced by her Dr and mine!
  • The milk could do it too. A lot of babies have an intolerance to dairy at a young age. Like someone else mentioned, growth spurt could be the culprit too.

  • Lol, at first I thought you were feeding your baby chocolate milk!
  • I would think the milk before the chocolate. My first did that, suddenly at 6 weeks was a crying inconsolable mess, turned out to be a dairy allergy!
