What breastfeeding mothers should know about onions

I’m still breastfeeding my 5 mth old baby. This is what i noticed. Everytime i ate onions, my baby tend to pass a lot of gas. And if i were to eat them for dinner, my baby will most likely have a sleepless night, tossing about in bed and crying in the middle of the night. I’ve experimented with this a few times and the results are the same each time. I dont have any problems with other foods except onions. So, mothers with young infants, do take note of this to avoid a crying baby at night.
