BF and Reflux

[Anonymous]

Just curious if there is any connection between what you eat and your BF baby’s reflux. Lielle has MSPI, but I’m asking specifically about reflux like when I eat spaghetti sauce I get it but isn’t it just proteins that pass into breastmilk? Like with broccoli, isn’t the gas producing element something that happens in your own intestines so it isnt’ passed to the baby?

Has anyone seen any research about this?

TIA!

I used to babysit a little boy who was breastfed and his mom would leave expressed breast milk for him. I could smell it in his spit up and he’d be irritable all day if she ate any tomatoes. I would actually talk to her on the phone during the day and ask, “Did you eat tomatoes last night?” and she’s say that she had!

When I was nursing my three I could smell things like broccoli, and onions when they passed gas. I don’t know why and I never researched it, but somehow the gas producing elements do seem make it into the breast milk.
