I'm glad this subject has come up, as it has been on my mind for some time.

 

Does anyone know of any studies that may have been done regarding dairy
consumption during pregnancy and it's effect on later breastfeeding?

     From what I have observed, it seems that moms who consume several
glasses of milk a day, or lots of ice cream during their pregnancy, have
babies that are very sensitive to their continued consumption of these same
products when breastfeeding.  I would like to know if others have noted the
same.  It would be nice to know if there was some proof out there, and could
then encourage OB doctors to encourage their moms to get their calcium and
protein through other food sources.  It seems the large consumption  of
dairy in pregnancy sensitizes their babies gut to this protein.  Any
truth???
