As a retired midwife, and grandmother for the third time, I was constantly being told the food being eaten would not be responsible for my grandchilds, disturbed evenings/nights. Chocolates,broccoli, a little alcohol, fruit juices from higher acid content were being used, as the midwives had refuted these "old wives tales" due to lack of medical evidence. These young midwives live in a world where evidence is required before changes will be made. It would be good to have some valid rsearch added to the clinical education of these "educator/carers", to assist in the better support o parents and particularly, the infant. Thanks for a great article. Individuality is the Key. Thank you for some confirmation.

From a couple of hours ago it seems like I just had my last bit of chocolate. Lets see if we can both stop 'gassing'. Lol Looks like I’m biting the bullet again tomorrow. 37 days ago I quit smoking.

It is also pretty common for babies to have a fussy period in the evening so it may not necessarily be anything in particular, but you could try giving up chocolate for a bit to see if that helps.

My 7 month old son who i breast feed and feed only baby rice 3 times a day, lately has been suffering trapped wind every night. He'd been very uncomfortable, scratch his neck and tip his head backwards and I had thought that they're not meant to suffer from trapped wind at this age. I'd tried so many ways to comfort him and he'd accidently bup...but I'd carry on trying to comfort him, not realising that it was the trapped wind waking him. Over the last week and a half I've been indulging huge amounts of chocolate every single day, only due to my new found freedom. I feel brave enough to go out on walks with my 2 babies (one is 2.9months and the other 7 months). So I've taken trip s to the local shops and 'invested' in chocolate stocks as the weather may turn bad andhubby only gets chocolate when I ask and moans that it ain't good for me as he doen't wanna make a trip to theshop for my craving (although he himself has some at work everyday!), so I don't bother asking him. so since my little boy was born I've had the odd bar here and there....not a bar or two everyday, continuously for the last week and a half! I just munched on some choccies now after putting both my babies to bed. (my second bar of the day). I'll give it a try...as hard as it may be...and see if my 'poor' baby feels better. never really thought that it went into the breast milk. presumed that all the good stuff from what I ate automatically filtered to make the milk. I guess I was wrong! Feel really guilty as my baby sufferes from eczema and some 'undetected' allergies. He can only have baby rice for solids (other than the breastmilk) as all other baby cereals that I have tried gives him an allergic reaction. NO MORE CHOCOLATE. I'll donate my choccies to my hubby! Thanks Again guys for your experiences and words of wisdom! Chamz Hi thanks for this discussion

I was surely on my way to eating a pair of lava crunch cakes from Domino's this evening. Glad I did my research first. I am so glad I read this first.

Caffiene is added to chocolate not naturaly in it. You can get chocolate that does not have it added. Is it the chocolate that causes this, or the caffiene in it?
