Recently I attended a bf support group.  The question of Mom's diet
effecting baby came up.  The LC who was leading the group that week was
unwavering in her belief that the food a mother eats can make her baby
gassy, have diarrhea, vomit, etc.

 I have always been of the understanding that, (with the exception of dairy
in some cases), the food a nursing Mother eats does not adversely effect the
baby.  I have always thought that a new born with gas has more to do with an
immature digestive system than it's mothers consumption of broccoli.  So I
wonder if any of you wise women (& men :-) ) have any thoughts on this.
