FODMAP’S FOOD ELIMINATION DIET FOR THE BREAST FEEDING
MOTHER TO HELP A COLICKY, CRYING, WINDY, UPSET BABY
FODMAP’S stands for “Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols”. But don’t worry about remembering that!
asically,
’ are short chain carbohydrates or sugars that the bowel doesn’t absorb well and they ferment into wind. xcluding these foods is well known to help those su ering
and other bowel
problems.
hen came across this food plan it jumped out at me because all the foods that regularly advise breast feeding mums to be careful of are on the
’ list too.
Applying this list to breast feeding mothers is not quite how it was designed but my clinical experience shows me it works great!
nstructions for use
his is my advice to all breast feeding mums when we are trying to work out what foods may be aggravating a colicky, windy, upset baby. here are actually many, many foods that have been discovered to
aggravate colic or wind in a baby when eaten by the breast feeding mum. t’s confusing to say the least so this is my short cut to get you started
his is what advise you to do.
Firstly, DON”T exclude all the FODMAP’S foods.
ook through the red or
’ foods (which are the ones to avoid). ircle any of the foods you are eating and then really circle or highlight the foods on that list that you are eating
.
t is highly likely that it is this food that is aggravating your baby if any.
ew mums food habits are not usual, they tend to grab foods and overdo foods they wouldn’t usually eat so much of. heir diets are really di erent to normal as they are pu ng their new baby before
themselves. have written a lot more about this in an ebook available to you at
hope these information sheet helps you. lease keep in touch and let me know how you get on. You can email me at christian
To yours and your baby’s health
