2.5 Should she avoid certain food items? Does anything she eat cause "cold" or "gas" in the baby?

Unfortunately, even nowadays, mothers are blamed for the colds or stomach pain that the baby gets. Mothers come to me with the guilt that they ate ice-cream or some other cold food item and probably because of that, their baby has caught a cold. There is no scientific evidence that any thing you eat affects the baby or any logic in it. Some say eating cabbage or too many chocolates produces gas in the baby but that also is doubtful. Any way there is never any need to eat too much of cabbage. If the mother has a cold and cough, baby may get this not through the milk but through the droplets when she coughs. Therefore, when she has cold and cough and she wants to prevent her baby getting the cold, she can wear a mask while handling the baby and wash her hands or use a hand sanitizer after touching her nose, so that the germs are not transferred via hands.
