I have heard that having Toor dal when breastfeeding causes a gas - Health and Fitness

I have heard that having Toor dal when breastfeeding causes a gas problem in mothers and, ultimately, babies (It is causing colic currently). Can I give prebiotics to the baby in some other form to cut the effect of dal that I consume daily or I should completely stop Toor dal consumption for a while.

Yes, tuvar dal causes gas problem, so do not consume too much of this dal. Drink lentil water. And eat moong dal. A lactating mother must include prebiotic-rich foods in her diet. And make sure to breastfeed the baby, as prebiotics are naturally present in breast milk. And if prblm with breastfeeding, choose a formula containing prebiotics, with the advice of a pediatrician.
