Breastfeeding

Honestly, yes, being gassy while breastfeeding is pretty common and generally nothing to worry about, since your body is going through a lot of hormonal and dietary changes postpartum. That said, it's worth looking at what you're eating, because some mums found that cutting back on dairy made a noticeable difference for both themselves and their babies' gassiness. A friend of mine actually mentioned that if the bloating feels more persistent or uncomfortable rather than just the usual gas, it could be worth seeing a pelvic floor specialist, as sometimes it's linked to core muscle changes after delivery rather than diet alone. So I'd say try tracking your food first, dairy, cruciferous vegetables, and even peanuts are common culprits, before jumping to conclusions, but don't dismiss it if it feels more than just mild discomfort.
