If your breast fed baby is colicky, it is worth a try to eliminate cow's milk from your diet. You will want to avoid cheese, ice cream, milk (in a glass or on cereal), yogurt, puddings, custards, cream sauces, and butter.
Dr. Greene Breastfeeding Tips
Get a good nipple cream, preferably one that is organic with Calendula in it. Using organic products is important, especially wherever you put your baby's mouth. Take your nipple cream to the hospital and use it after every feeding to help prevent soreness.
Make sure that you are getting the recommended daily amount of vitamins and minerals as this becomes even more important during breastfeeding -- both for the baby and for the mother who enriches her milk for her child.
Don't feed your baby more often than every hour-and-a-half to two hours. She may want to eat more often, but you will not have the milk she needs in less than an hour-and-a-half (from start time to start time).
When transitioning from breastfeeding to bottle feeding, choose glass or stainless steel baby bottles. BornFree offers leak proof BPA-Free baby bottles that come in plastic or glass and feature an innovative venting system designed to promote ActiveFlow™ and help minimize the painful symptoms of colic.
