Did the baby have bloating after eating red beans while breastfeeding

Moderate consumption of red beans during lactation generally does not directly cause bloating in infants, but excessive intake may increase the risk of bloating. Red beans contain a high amount of dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, which may affect infant digestive function through breast milk. Some components in the diet of lactating mothers may be transmitted to their infants through breast milk. Red beans are rich in dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, which may produce gas during fermentation in the intestine. Under normal consumption, the concentration of these substances in breast milk is low and usually does not have a significant impact on infants. It is more suitable for lactating women to consume less than 50 grams of red beans per day. It is recommended to eat them in portions and cook them thoroughly until soft and tender, which can help reduce the production of bloating substances. Some infants are more sensitive to specific components in their mother's diet. If the mother consumes a large amount of red beans in a short period of time or the baby has lactose intolerance, colic, and other symptoms, there may be digestive discomfort such as bloating and crying. In such cases, it is necessary to observe the baby's bowel movements and emotional changes, and if necessary, temporarily stop eating legumes and record their dietary reactions. If a baby continues to experience bloating, you can try abdominal massage or adjusting breastfeeding posture to promote ventilation.

Attention should be paid to balanced nutrition and individual differences in diet during lactation. It is recommended to give priority to digestible cooking methods such as red bean Congee or bean paste. After trying legumes for the first time, it is important to closely monitor the baby's reactions. If any abnormal symptoms appear, it is recommended to consult with a pediatrician. It is recommended to use millet, pumpkin, and other warm and warm ingredients in daily life, and avoid eating carbonated drinks, cruciferous vegetables, and other gas producing foods together. Helping the baby burp after breastfeeding can help prevent bloating.
