you are breastfeeding or not. Sometimes, though, a breastfeeding baby is intolerant or sensitive to something in the mother's diet, often cow's milk. (It's a myth that broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, chocolate, onions, or spicy foods cause colic or other problems in breastfeeding babies.)

While eliminating foods from your diet is typically not necessary, if you and your pediatrician think that food allergy is a problem, you may decide to try an elimination diet.

Target specific foods and food groups,Eliminate foods one at a time,Add that food back into your diet and eliminate another,Re-test if you find a food your baby is sensitive.
