It's time for Myth Monday!
There is no doubt that breastfeeding is best for infants. Especially during this sensitive period, the motherโs diet plays a particularly important role - for both her and the infant. Breastfeeding mothers are often advised to avoid soโcalled gasโproducing foods to prevent digestive discomfort in the infant. But is that actually true? ๐

Foods commonly considered gasโproducing include cruciferous vegetables, onions, garlic, and legumes. The substances responsible for gas formation in these foods are mainly complex carbohydrates, indigestible fibers, and sulfur compounds. However, none of these substances pass into breast milk.
Fiber, in particular, is important for gut health and serves as nourishment for beneficial bacteria - soโcalled probiotics. In addition, the foods mentioned are rich in vitamins and minerals, and legumes in particular are valuable sources of protein. Therefore, there is no reason to avoid the food mentioned. Of course, individual needs should always be considered. If discomfort does occur, adjusting the preparation method or portion size may help.
