Spinnoff to my own spitting up question

If I am BFing and DS is having reflux issues, can I change my diet to help him? I'd rather not medicate if I can help it.

TIA

I do believe so....you can cut back on anything acidic or gassy (tomato sauce, broccoli, etc).

You may try cutting back or eliminating dairy from your diet to see if that helps.

I would do what btrflygrl suggested. I BF and my DD had colic so I was always trying to alter my diet. I can't say whether or not it really worked but it's definitely all trial and error. It can't hurt to try changing what you eat. I know someone who lived on cereal, brown rice, boiled chicken and corn for months to help her DS's belly. I know for her the mild diet worked.

I think it is the milk I am drinking to be honest. I never really drank or craved milk until I was PG, but everyone told me to drink milk to help lactation so I did. I think I am switching back to soy or rice milk.

Thanks
