Do
dairy products cause colic?
There
is no definitive research to show whether or not dairy products
cause colic in babies. However, there certainly are
well-documented cases where a colicky baby seemed more
comfortable after the mother's milk intake was restricted.
Restricting her milk intake is one of the things
we encourage mom's with colicky babies to try. The rationale
for this has to do with allergic reactions to milk. If there is
a pattern of allergies her family, a mother may be sensitive to
cow milk, and this may affect her baby.
