🤱 Certain foods in a breastfeeding mother's diet can potentially cause colic in babies. Here's a list of some common culprits of colic-causing foods that you should consider avoiding or reducing in your diet:
🥛 Dairy products: Cow's milk proteins can sometimes cause an allergic reaction or food sensitivity in infants. Breastfeeding mothers may need to avoid or limit their intake of dairy.
☕️ Caffeine: High amounts of caffeine from coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks, or energy drinks can make their way into breast milk and potentially cause colic in sensitive infants.
🥬 Cruciferous vegetables: While healthy, vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower have great health benefits, they can also produce gas.
🌶️ Spicy foods and highly seasoned foods: Some babies may be sensitive to spicy foods or strong flavors in their mother's breast milk.
🥜 Nuts and peanuts: Allergies to nuts and peanuts are common, and exposure through breast milk can cause colic in some infants.
