I avoided having my kids sleep in our bed with us by never ever feeding them in the bed in the first place. I have to admit that once or twice I did sit on the bed and feed them, but that was during the day when it wasn't 'sleep time' for us. It seems to have worked because I've never had the problem of kids wanting to sleep in the bed with us.

If you have a small baby who is prone to gas, it's one of the first things that is suggested to remove from your diet, along with all other cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, but in general it's considered a very healthy dietary choice for nursing mothers, although some babies dislike the flavor it gives the milk.
Some recent studies even indicate that eating cruciferous vegetables while nursing may help protect their babies against certain types of cancer.
