Description

You’re told your baby is just “colicky.” You’re told their reflux is “normal.” Maybe even that your breastmilk is the issue. But what if the real problem… is what you’re eating?

In this episode, I share my personal story of discovering food sensitivities while breastfeeding—how dairy and gluten impacted both of my boys, the symptoms I couldn’t ignore, and how I made the decision to cut them out.




In this episode:



  • Why I cut gluten and dairy while breastfeeding (and how it changed everything)




  • The symptoms no one told me could be food related




  • The connection between dairy and chronic ear infections




  • How to make a gluten and dairy free lifestyle actually doable - including how to go out to eat

  • Encouragement for the mom who feels like something is off


If you’re wondering whether food could be affecting your baby’s skin, sleep, reflux, or behavior, this episode might connect the dots for you.
