Nursing mothers know to be careful with their diet.  That extra spicy meal may be wonderful now, but you are likely to pay for it later when your 5 month old is up half the night fussing.  But some food culprits can be less obvious.  That decaf mocha frappachino might seem like a harmless treat on a hot summer day, but the smallest amount of caffeine can cause a baby to be fussy and restless for hours into the day….and night.  (Yes, decaffeinated coffee AND chocolate contain caffeine)

If your breastfed baby is having a difficult time with naps and night time sleep, keep track of what you eat for the next few days to see if your diet might be part of the problem.
