Feeding the pregnant during gestation has no influence to prevent cramping in the baby at birth. This is because baby cramps are a natural result of the immaturity of your gut, which in the first few months still finds it difficult to digest milk, even if it is breast milk.
The pains usually occur in the first few months of the newborn's life, but they improve over time and with the regular frequency of breastfeeding. It is important to remember that babies who breastfeed strengthen their bowels faster and feel fewer cramps than infants who use infant formulas.
Feeding the mother after childbirth avoids cramping in the baby
After the birth of the baby, the mother's diet can influence the increase in colic of the newborn, and it is important not to exaggerate the consumption of foods that cause gas, such as beans, peas, turnip, broccoli or cauliflower.
In addition, milk consumption may also end up causing cramps in the baby because the intestine still in its formation may not tolerate the presence of the cow's milk protein. Thus, the pediatrician may recommend withdrawing milk and derivatives from the mother's diet if she believes the baby is having problems. See other causes of cramping in babies.
