Question
What foods can cause bloat in breastfeeding infants?
Answer
During breastfeeding, mothers should avoid consuming cold and cool vegetables such as mallow, cucumber, winter melon, bitter melon, watermelon radish, and bamboo shoots, as they may cause discomfort in the mother or induce lactation. For the baby, these foods can also lead to heat symptoms. Additionally, it’s advisable to reduce intake of foods that might affect the baby through breast milk to prevent bloating in the baby.
