length of time from eating food to effecting breastmilk

[popetsmum]

How long does it take from eating something to it gets into breastmilk? Also what foods effect your baby? I have a very sad baby and need to eliminate any potential problems.
thanks cindy

A study done last year demonstrated that food started infusing your breastmilk with different flavours within 20 minutes of you consuming them.

Just about anything can affect your baby via your breastmilk. A baby can be allergic to, or intolerant of, just about any food stuff. What symptoms is he having, and have you seen a lactation consultant?

Ive heard
chocolate
garlic
brocolie
cabbage
cauliflower
coke
spicy food ( chillies and curry )
however I do still eat all of the above, it's wind that effects my bubb

she has very bad wind which I think maybe kind of refluxy (as it smells but not all the time) and she has just been so upset (I do know that babies cry!!! but this is like a pain cry)

I'm doing the same trial and error myself ATM:)
So far it seems to be something from the day before like 12hrs approx and I have eliminated cabbage and excessive sugar. Now to work out what I had yesterday that was new that may have caused her issues.

Tricky isn't it:yes:
