My son is not allergic to anything but gets miserable with dairy and soy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181924 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:31:30 +0000 brownie 181924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: cut out milk, cheese, yogurt, casein and whey from your diet. You don't necessarily have to cut soy too, I just wouldn't replace the dairy with soy (ie soy milk). Almond, rice or coconut milk are perfectly appropriate substitutions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181892 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 12:06:33 +0000 duckduckkristen 181892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is having the same problem and my pediatrician said its just because their digestive tracts aren't fully developed and they have a hard time relaxing the sphincter to let out the gas. I was concerned he had a dairy allergy but the ped said food allergies are very rare and the gas should go away in a couple months. She also said as long as he is pooping and there is no blood in his stools then everything is fine. Have you tried massaging the tummy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181879 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:56:48 +0000 pastemoo 181879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: all dairy, or just milk? can you have almond milk or soy milk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181851 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:27:23 +0000 brownie 181851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: it sucks but it is ultimately worth it. I've been off milk for over a year now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181844 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:25:16 +0000 pastemoo 181844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Ok. He is 2.5 weeks. And I am eating very differently every day, too, but I do have cereal and milk every morning--I can cut that out and see what happens.</p> <p>@brownie: I guess I can cut out milk. I eat beans sometimes (my mom made a garbanzo and lentil salad and it's still in my fridge), but haven't had the other veggies since I was still pregnant. Hopefully it's just the milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181720 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:23:58 +0000 brownie 181720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: cows milk is number 1, others are beans, broccoli and cauliflower, onions, Brussels sprouts and asparagus. </p> <p>Gripe water or gas drops also may be enough but that's up to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181588 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:00:12 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 181588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: How old is your LO? DD was like that for about a month, and it wasn't necessarily any one thing I was eating (since I changed it up every day). I think it was just her digestive tract maturing and learning to handle all of the new foods. I would give her a bottle of breastmilk with gripe water once or twice a day, and that made all the difference. After a couple weeks, she didn't need it anymore (and I continued to eat like I normally did) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181520 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:15:26 +0000 pastemoo 181520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Yes, he was. I have been eating so randomly and so unlike myself since he was born since we had so much company--I'm hoping that being home with just LO, me and DH when he's off work will help me eat normally again and maybe improve LO's insides. It's day 3 without company. LO is 17 days old.</p> <p>@brownie: Is there a list of foods like broccoli that I should just avoid?I love veggies... so that could be the problem. 2 months is a long time to track! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181514 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:08:48 +0000 tequiero21 181514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was he gassy the beginning? I'd look up on the Internet and see what foods make breastfed babies gassy. See what you r eating. Cut one food for a week and see if that helps. If not, move to another. We're having similar issues, but it's constipation. I've cut my iron pills. Cut down on cows milk.... Making progress... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181501 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:00:21 +0000 brownie 181501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can take 2 weeks to a month for you LO to feel relief after eliminating a food. My son is milk soy protien intolerant. I ended up on a total elimination diet to diagnose it. </p> <p>I personally recommend (I am not a doctor) that you pull all dairy and soy out of you diet and gassy foods (broccoli). Do that for 2 weeks. If things are better try one of those and see what happens.</p> <p>You can do a food diary but I was never good at it. My son was much worse than yours as well. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-determine-what-foods-you-are-eating-while-breastfeeding-make-lo-gassyunhappy#post-181441 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:00:48 +0000 pastemoo 181441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something I'm doing or eating is just not working with LO. Every day he's gassy, and about twice a day or so he cries for an hour until it passes.</p> <p>My mom said to start taking a food diary so I can cut out what ever is making him sick. How do I know what food is making him gassy? Do I just take a day and eat only soup and bread or something? </p>
