Winnie:  I have had several patients report this.  It is probably a
combination of things being lumped together.  I have seen moms who have
vaginal yeast outbreaks at this time, which probably means the baby is
having diaper area/intestinal yeast overgrowth.  In these cases, the babies
all responded to topical yeast treatment plus oral Lactobaccilli treatment.
In the other cases, I have had success with having moms take a combination
of things including:  wild yam, chaste tree, Essential Fatty Acids, and soy.
