Refined sugar and breastfeeding

[WhateverLove]

I'm asking this question because I'm watching my 16 week old EBF ds going crazy on the bed kicking his legs and flailing his arms like a lunatic for 15 minutes!!!

He has not long been fed and at about 2.30pm, I ate a slice of warm apple pie with ice cream and maple syrup!

Could there be a link?!

Errm I don't think so but your post has really made me want some apple pie now!!

Haha! It was amazing!!!

My 15 week old ebf DS does this in the mornings in general so I doubt related to sugar intake. I agree that does sound like a great dessert and I am jealous!

Stop making me hungry and
Lovely pudding and a snuggly baby to BF.

Never noticed what I ate or drank having any effect on DD2
(Although many years of secong hand coffee, might explain why she can guzzle Coca Cola without it keeping her awake)

I think caffeine may make a difference. But I don't think your sugar intake does - your milk always contains lactose, but I don't believe the level of lactose is dependent on how much sugar you ingest. Ah, look, Kellymom says as much too - look down near the bottom.

Aww - sounds lovely... Suspect its more a development thing and your baby is learning how to use his/her arms and legs
