It is so confusing isn't it As the others have said, some foods can cause unsettled behaviour in babies but this varies so much from baby to baby, and usually settles down quickly as their digestive systems develop. If you feel like some foods are causing a problem, reducing them for a little while is fine, but it is important to see if you can replace the nutrients from those foods with something else so you don't miss out. Most often mums find that if something causes an issue in the first few weeks, they can try it again a couple of weeks later and it's fine.

As MadB says, your doula might know a bit more about birthing than dietetics Babies are very, very rarely lactose intolerant - and you would know if yours was, babies that are lactose intolerant can't have any breastmilk or formula from birth. Cows milk protein intolerance or allergy is possible, but I would think it's too soon to suspect that yet. Is it more than just the pimply rash that babies get? Are there any other signs of food intolerance like snuffly nose?

It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job hun. Is there a particular reason why you are in a hurry to lose the weight now? You are providing the complete nutrition for two humans at the moment so you need to make sure you have enough calories, proteins and fats in your diet. If you don't, you will feel tired (more tired than you are anyway as a new mum), can be more prone to illness and could be missing out on nutrients that you need (your baby will get first choice of what you eat!). Vegies are great for vitamins and minerals but not so good for calories, proteins or fats. If you do want to lose the weight already, would you consider seeing a dietician to help you come up with a suitable plan?
