The pregnant woman’s diet during pregnancy has no influence on preventing colic in the baby when it is born. This is because colic in babies is a natural result of the immaturity of their intestines, which in the first few months still finds it very difficult to digest milk, even if it is breast milk.
Pain, in general, occurs in the first months of a newborn’s life, but improves over time and with regular feeding frequency. It is important to remember that babies who breastfeed strengthen their intestines more quickly and experience less colic than babies who use infant formula.
Mother’s nutrition after birth prevents colic in the baby
After the baby is born, the mother’s diet can influence the increase in colic in the newborn, and it is important not to overconsume foods that cause gas, such as beans, peas, turnips, broccoli or cauliflower.
Furthermore, consuming milk can also end up causing colic in the baby, as the baby’s still-forming intestine may not tolerate the presence of cow’s milk protein. Therefore, the pediatrician may recommend removing milk and dairy products from the mother’s diet if he believes the baby is having problems as a result. See other causes of colic in babies.
