Foods that cause colics

I breastfed my daughter and I am now breastfeeding my son. My daughter had colics for the first 3 months and this time around I put everything on my side to avoid my son having them. And it starts with what you eat. If you avoid these foods during the first 8 weeks, while the digestive system of the newborn develops, you're putting good chances on your side... My son is 8 weeks today and no colics till this day =D

Foods to avoid for the first 6-8 weeks:

Fruits Vegetables Miscellaneous
Mangoes
Berries
Melons
Grapes
Oranges
Lemons
Stone fruits
Pineapple
Strawberries
Broccoli
Cabbage
Brussel sprouts
Peas
Cucumber
Capsicum
Lettuce
Tomato
Radishes
Cauliflower
Lentils
onion
Strong herbs and spices. (Cayenne, chili, oregano, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary)
Brewers yeast
Tea
Alcohol
