I am noticing a trend in pediatricians around here to
recommend highly restricted diets to mom if the baby is
"fussy"/"colicky". Often this leads moms to just bottle
feed, often with soy formula instead of making these
overwhelming dietary changes. I had one doc. who
suggested a bland diet to a mom (including among about 5
foods white bread (uckkk!). The mom said it helped but I
wonder how long it lasted, haven't talked to her
recently. I usually focus more on a wide variety of
foods moms should eat, lots of fruits, vegetables,
proteins - possibly avoiding beef if there is strong
reason to suspect dairy. I encourage moms to use
products like oat/almond/rice milk which are readily
available and help moms transition from their milk/soy
based diet. What are other people recommending and any
luck educating pediatricians on how what they are doing
discourages breastfeeding?
