Foods to avoid?

[~kellie~]

The last 2 nights, DS has been awake overnight for hours at a time, crying and unsettled with what I think is wind pains.

Have decided today to cut back on my dairy intake to see if that makes a difference, but was wondering if there were any other foods I should avoid, apart from the obvious caffeine, onions etc

Thanks

broccoli is a big cause of wind in bubbas

is cauliflower ok? was gonna make cauli soup for dinner but my little one is also having wind issues.

cauli is also on the "ify" list

As well as zuccini, cabbage adn things like that. It always seems to me to be the green leafy veg. If u google it you should find a more comprehensive list.
Have you tried wearing him in a wrap kellie? just having them upright in a wrap whilst you rub or pat their backs often helps. also your belly pressed against theirs is massaging whilst you do can be helpful

thanks everyone for the suggestions

it just dawned on me before that the last 2 days I have drunk caffeinated soft drinks, so will be avoiding those now!

Bella29 - I do have a hug a bub, but I'm still trying to figure out how to put it on! Maybe I'll move that to the top of my to do list!

slightly better night last night, I'm thinking it might be the soft drinks! he was still quite windy, but I was only up for about 1 hour at a time rather than 3 hours like the previous 2 nights.

I'm really hoping I don't have to give up chocolate, I can handle missing out on the drinks, but not chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi kellie, i'm a bit late but i found that caffeinated soft drinks had the same response here. i did find that DS grew out of it though, by about 6 months i think? i don't think we had any major issues with chocolate but it might take a couple of days for you to see bigger improvements & if not, then maybe cut back on the chocolate? well, just a tiny bit!!

What about cooked onion and non-caffinated soft drinks like caffine free diet coke?
