In an effort to assist my clients to get the most out of their photography session I did some research about what foods tend to make a baby feel gassy and

came across an interesting article at www.babycenter.com by Karen and Gale Pryor that explains foods nursing mothers can avoid eating when nursing a baby.

We want you and your baby to feel calm and relaxed during your newborn photo shoot, and we understand as a new mother, there is nothing quite like the

comfort of your own home. Therefore, to get the most from your session and to help things move along efficiently, we strongly recommend abiding by

these recommendations at least 48 hours prior to your photo session.   Doing so could make a huge difference between a two-hour session that captures

multiple setups, a variety of poses and comfortable family photographs compared to rushing and being limited to simple poses.

With all this in mind, here’s a summary of the list in the article of foods to avoid eating for nursing mothers to help alleviate baby’s gas

chocolates

spices such as cinnamon, garlic, curry, chili, and pepper

citrus fruits and their juices, like oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit

strawberries

kiwifruit

pineapple

the “gassy” veggies such as onion, cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, and peppers; and

fruits with a laxative effect, such as cherries and prunes
