I think if you have some cheese here and there and milk in your tea dairy wont be a problem. If you're having milkshakes and stuff a lot it might be. Dairy isn't really a necessary food group there are plenty of other calcium sources if your baby reacts to dairy.

I've heard cauliflower gives the baby wind (according to my mum who breastfed 4 of us for a year each). And chocolate gives them the runs.

My babies did not like onions in my breastmilk. And I love onions! That was a big adjustment for me to make.

I usually drink two large iced coffees a day from dunkin. So instead I only would order a medium but tried to avoid it around nap times, and would have my second cup at 3 in the afternoon early enough not to interfere with night time sleep. After the first 3 months I was back to drinking my large iced coffees.

I cut down on my coffee intake the first couple of months. I didn't give it up just cut down on the amount I was drinking, I tried to avoid it near nap times although most research I found says it doesn't have an impact I found it made my kids irritable during the newborn phase. Some foods can cause your baby to be gassy but neither of my kids had that problem so I didn't give much else up.
