Half to one hour intervals are common during this period. Feedings get less frequent as an infant gets older. More is also normal. Once your milk is in, you can expect your baby to soil as many as 10-12 diapers daily. Subsequent breastmilk stools are usually watery and yellow, perhaps with curds or a seed-like character.
Most infants tolerate any food a mother eats.
Some infants, however, will become gassy and perhaps uncomfortable as a result of some foods in the mother's diet. If this happens to your infant, contact us to discuss how to remedy the situation. The next section lists the foods that are often implicated as the cause for a gassy uncomfortable baby. Avoid cigarettes, alcohol and caffeine. For your own benefit, continue your prenatal vitamin and mineral supplements while nursing.
