COLIC-CAUSING FOODS IN BREASTFEEDING

If your child is experiencing colic, it may be due to something in your diet that is passing through the breastmilk. Here is a list of foods that may be the culprit. You can eliminate all foods at once or just a few at a time, depending on how severe the colic is. It sometimes takes up to two weeks for a food to get out of your system, so be patient. Good luck!

  • Dairy products
  • Caffeine – coffee, tea, soda
  • Soy products
  • Peanuts
  • Shellfish
  • Chocolate (sorry!)
  • Citrus fruits
  • Wheat
  • Chicken
  • Beef
  • Eggs
  • Nuts
  • Corn
  • Prenatal vitamins (The iron may be irritating to baby. Ask your OB for an alternative if this is the culprit.)
  • Gassy vegetables:
    • Broccoli
    • Cauliflower
    • Cabbage
    • Onions
    • Green peppers
    • Tomatoes
