if i remember correctly, you had to stop eating chocolate while you were breastfeeding?  what symptoms did you see that made you think to give up chocolate?

sorry if i'm not remembering right,  i'll blame it on mommy brain LOL

Re: meg

  • I am butting in..  Chocolate can give babies colic or diarrhea. There is also a little bit of caffeine in chocolate that some babies have trouble with.

    If Josie is having troubles with her belly try Mylicon drops. They were a God send Dexter's first few months.

  • Thanks, Gerrie! I don't think we are having stomach issues, josie is having some baby acne and last night she seriously nursed on and off (mostly on though) from 6PM until 1am. You know everyone has their opinions, someone today told me chocolate was causing the acne problem (??) and maybe the long nursing too. Originally I assumed the acne was normal and the extended nursing was for comfort and to increase my milk supply since she is getting so big. I googled chocolate and Breastfeeding and saw that it could increase gassiness, and josie definitely let's loose of some interesting farts :), I just didn't think it was a problem. Thanks again! I'm going to check out those mylicon drops!
  • yup, I gave up chocolate for a few months.  It sucked during Easter.  

    Katie would get really gassy and fussy when I ate chocolate.  

    As far as the baby acne goes - Katie was sensitive to Aveeno baby wash so once we stopped bathing her in that her skin cleared up.  It was frustrating actually - I was giving her baths to help clear up her skin not knowing that the soap was causing it, therefore we were making her worse by bathing her.  Once we switched to Method products, we have had no problems except dry winter skin.

  • I'm using aveeno! Maybe that's what's causing the acne. I like that solution way better than me giving up chocolate! :)
  • Yeah, here's a photo of her with the rashy face when we were still using aveeno.

    This one isn't even that bad, but she has icky red patches around her eyes and on her forehead.
