Mexican Food = Gassy Baby

A very good friend of mine, Kelly, stopped by with her sweet baby boy Brody yesterday. Eli and Brody had a great time playing. Brody is a little rolly polly while Eli just sits up and watch him. We decided to eat Mexican for lunch. Everyone knows how much I love Mexican! But....it seems every time I eat it Eli gets a tummy ache. Some people don't believe that what you eat, when you are nursing, affects the baby. I used to be one of those people. I remember after Eli was born my Granny telling me I wasn't going to be able to eat Mexican, little did I know she was right! I usually get veggie fajitas but yesterday I tried a chimichanga thinking the onions were the problem. I was wrong, my poor baby was up half the night with gas. He started fussing around 2, at 3 I told David to go get in bed. As soon as I would lay him down he would start fussing, not the "don't lay me down" fuss but a "I'm hurting" fuss. So we laid him down on his tummy and he pretty much went to sleep. Even though he is 6 and half months old I couldn't leave him on his tummy to sleep, so he slept in the bed with David and me. I am working 7a to 11a so hopefully he is feeling better this morning.

So the conclusion is my Granny is always right and no more Mexican food!
