I also cut this out of my diet, but now I can eat anything and Natalie does not mind!!

My guy had really bad acid reflux. There were some times when all he wanted to do is nurse. I finally called the LC b/c I thought I may not be making enough milk. After reviewing his history she figured out that he had reflux. An adjustment of food and finally meds helped him. Also, once you stop eating a food it can take as long as two weeks to clear the system (per my pediatric allergist). If your baby has extreme fussiness I suggest keeping a food log, noting when you stopped consuming the particular food and see if there is any improvement over the course of 2-3 weeks. It is possible for babies to have food allergies (where the immune system actually attacks the "foreign particle") as compared to just an intolorance. If severe it may be recommended that Mom does an elimination diet of the top 8 allergens. I just wanted to add that BM is a natural antacid. My guy had really bad acid reflux.
