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?
