    gripe water (the type without alcohol in it) really helped my bub in this situation.

    i would syringe the gripe water dose in her mouth (she liked it so much, she licked the syringe LOL)
    Her tummy would go "gurgle gurgle" very soon thereafter
    Then she would poop
    Her shoulders would go down, she would literally go "ahhh" and burst into biggest smile
    issue over.

    when i tried the gripe water (type with 1% alcohol in it), she would make a face like she'd sucked a bitter lemon and refuse to have it.

    I found week 2-3 was when both my bubs started crying more. I definitely found less onion, garlic, cauliflower (Ie windy foods) helped...but then again, I know they grow out of it, so I wasn't very diligent.

    At around 8 weeks ds stopped being so sensitive and I eat anything now.

    As someone said, anything that gives me wind, gives DS2 wind. He's a terribly windy baby, and even now at 5 mths still has issues with wind pains if I eat the trigger foods.
    The biggest culprits for us are dairy products (my kids tend to have a sensitivity to it until they're about 18mths and then they can have it without issues), beans/lentils, chocolate and caffinated drinks, onions, garlic, chilli, curry, cruciferous veggies (like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower), tomato based sauces (though not for long, about 8-ish weeks and then they could tolerate it better).

    same as above and icecream too. Brauers Stomach Calm is great for unsettled tummies.

    With Sam I had a works hamburger and I worked out that the pineapple and onion on it really upset him. So did oranges and other strong fruits (basically almost ever fruit other than apples bananas). That included fruit juice too. I found tea was ok but no coffee or dark choc. I also found cheese tended to cause a bit of grief too.

    So kind of random question because I'm not breastfeeding yet but was wondering how eating spicy foods affected bubs? I was a bit of a spice-wuss when feeding my DD all those years ago but my DH has put me onto the joys of a good hot curry and chilli in stirfry etc...I'm really looking forward to eating them again when this bub is born without the risk of throwing it back up (darn M/S) - but is it likely to adversely affect my little one if I do?
