We all heard elder aunts warning breastfeeding mothers not to eat gassy or heavy and spicy foods. According to doctors, it's just a myth that a mother's poor or careless eating can make a child fussy. The symptoms of this are not rash or sneezing, and do not like common allergy symptoms. If your child is continuously fussy or uncomfortable after the mother's poor eating, the mother should take precautions while eating until the breastfeeding period. This fussiness of the child is colic or abdomen pain. If your child under age one month to six months becomes fussy after breastfeeding or any other feeding, go immediately visit the pediatrician and ask for colic drops or home remedies for the colic pain.

If you, your family, or any elder child has a food allergy, the pediatrician can give you the following recommendations.

• Don't give your infant any artificial feeding. Breastfeeding is the only solution to prevent him from different kinds of food allergies, do not introduce anything else until the baby grows to six months. Expert recommends if the infant is on breastfeed he doesn't need anything else because mother feed has all the essential nutrition along the water.
• Breastfeeding is a blessing for the children but comes with many difficulties and hurdles. Mothers have to sacrifice many things for safe milk; for example, they don't eat cold, spicy, and gassy food for the infant's delicate stomach. Mothers have to watch the number of dairy products, eggs, and many other foods for their little creature's health.
• It doesn't mean breastfeeding is the cause of any pain or allergy. Some precautions are better to follow; otherwise, do not stress yourself about the diet or foods.

Seasonal or weather allergies

If your child faces allergy symptoms during a specific season or weather, it is called seasonal allergy. Seasonal symptoms can come with fever and also called allergic rhinitis, and mainly develops in the spring season when plants and flowers are about to grow in full bloom, and this allergy is pollen allergy because when the pollen of the plants flies, it triggers the allergy symptoms in the children.

Some of the common symptoms of pollen or seasonal allergy are as follows

• Watery and red eyes
• Runny nose 
• Airless nose
• Sneezing

The infant or child may also experience ears pain along all of these symptoms, and these symptoms of seasonal infection can also lead to chronic ear infections.

Indoor or home-based allergies

Not every allergy needs to develop from the outer environment. Sitting indoors can also produce some allergies; some of the leading causes of indoor allergies are pets like cats, dogs, birds feathers, dusty mites, fluffy toys, and the danger of all cigarette smoke.

You can help your infant, who is facing the symptoms of indoor allergy-like sneezing, ear infection, and watery eyes.

• If your infant is allergic to pets, don't allow the pets in your home.
• Don't use solid perfumes or air fresheners, as their strong smell can trigger allergy symptoms.
• Avoid carpeting at home because the carpet particles absorb dust and lead to indoor allergies.
• Try to mope the dust regularly.
• If you don't want to remove the soft toys, place them in plastic bags and refrigerate them for five days to kill dusty mites.
• Try to change mattress and bed sheet covers every other day.
• Don't use humidity devices like humidifiers or vaporizers because humidity can trigger allergy symptoms.
