I never had much problem with foods and them affecting baby. DD was really colicky from 4 weeks old until 12 weeks old. I watched mt foods carefully (oranges & tomatoes were big in mt diet then), but I found it didn't make a difference for me. Only thing I noticed that affected baby was taking in too much caffiene.

I also had to cut out all dairy and caffeine. They make a huge huge difference in my son.

I have not ate anything that bothered my dd that much, but I do steer away from caffiene. I also heard to limit dairy, spicy foods,foods that can cause gas, and citrus foods like oranges. I was also told not to eat onions, but I don't like them anyways!
