I have no idea about foods but you could try gas drops they never worked for my daughter so I just push her knees up to her chest and she farts a few times and seems perfectly fine afterward.

I think it's pretty normal to have gas issues, as their digestive system is starting to get used to the milk and they take in some air while eating. I always burped my son in between breast sides, and afterwards and he still had a LOT of gas. Try pushing his legs up to his chest and bicycling them to help release the air bubbles.

You can try gas drops, they might help. A lot of people don't realize that gas drops don't actually stop gas... they just make the air bubbles smaller so they are easier to get out!

I know there are some foods they recommend to avoid while nursing, but for the most part, unless you're eating something in copious amounts there shouldn't really be anything you are eating that causes the gas.
