Hi --

Altbough it is possible for just about any food to cause gas in the
nursing infant, pears strike me as unlikely. And I sure wouldn't
eliminate a food with just a single day of gassiness! The gas could
have been caused by a different food, by a passing virus, by sheer bad
luck, and the pear could be completely innocent!

Have you eaten pears? Even if you haven't eaten anything "clasically"
gassy such as beans or cauliflower, innocent-looking stuff such as
pears
could be the culprit. A friend of mine ate a pear and her daughter was
gassy all day after that!
