The feeding of the pregnant woman during pregnancy has no influence to prevent colic in the baby at birth. This is because the cramps in the baby are a natural result of the immaturity of its intestine, which in the first months still finds it very difficult to digest milk, even if it is breast milk.
The pains, in general, happen in the first months of the newborn's life, but they improve with time and with the regular frequency of feedings. It is important to remember that babies who breastfeed strengthen their intestines more quickly and feel less cramping than babies using infant formula.
Feeding the mother after delivery prevents colic in the baby
After the baby is born, the mother's diet can influence the increase in the newborn's colic, and it is important not to overdo the consumption of foods that cause gases, such as beans, peas, turnips, broccoli or cauliflower.
In addition, the consumption of milk can also end up causing colic in the baby, because the intestine still forming it may not tolerate the presence of cow's milk protein. Thus, the pediatrician can recommend the removal of milk and dairy products from the mother's diet, if he believes that the baby is having problems for that reason.
