What to eat for nursing mothers

not need to try a new way of eating.
If you always calmly ate fried foods and tolerate them normally, then nothing threatens the baby.
Remember how and what you ate when you were pregnant? If you included in your diet sometimes fried foods, various juices, fruits, sometimes sweets, and so on, then the baby already received a certain idea of ​​​​what you love and in what form when it developed in utero, because you were connected by the umbilical cord. And now it won't be new to him. The first adaptation to what you like to eat happened in utero.

Myth six: You can not spicy, onions, garlic, they spoil the taste of milk and the child may refuse to breastfeed.

Our baby is genetically tuned to the fact that milk is varied in taste, because it depends not only on the fact that there is a mother, but also on what processes take place in her body, what her hormonal background is. Mom cannot be constant, she is different every day, and accordingly, milk does not always taste the same. The baby expects the milk to change, and if the mother ate a clove of garlic, the taste of milk will not change significantly. Some change in the taste of milk is not news for the crumbs, and even more so not a reason for refusing to breastfeed. So if you want to eat onions, garlic - eat to your health! It is especially recommended to eat it during an exacerbation of the flu in order to prevent the disease of the mother + baby pair.

Myth seven: A nursing woman does not need to eat foods that can cause increased gas formation, from which a child can puff up: white cabbage, zucchini, grapes, pears, etc. Everything that a mother eats gets into breast milk, which means you need to eat with caution.
It should be borne in mind that there is no direct connection between the stomach of a nursing mother and the milk that she produces, because it is formed from the components of blood and lymph. That is, particles of cabbage, beans, grapes, from which, as is commonly believed, the baby puffs up, cannot get into the milk.
In its pure form, only artificial food additives and medicines get into milk, and many of the drugs are in very low concentrations.
Pay attention to what you eat and how you react to foods (or maybe it’s some special way of cooking chicken, but in another form you don’t have a reaction). Если у вас после горохового супчика возникает метеоризм, то ждите такую же реакцию и от baby. If you have heartburn from something, or something strengthens and weakens, only in this case you should refuse this product.

Myth eight: A nursing mother will have to give up coffee for the entire feeding period.
Если женщина будет выпивать одну маленькую чашечку кофе в день – это не отразится негативно на здоровье baby. But it is worth remembering that coffee can provoke an allergic reaction, but again, not every baby may have it. Therefore, if before pregnancy you could not imagine a single morning without coffee, then try it, it is possible that your habit can be renewed.

The basic principles of nutrition for a nursing mother:
Eat high-quality and healthy food (exclude soda, sausages, canned food, etc.);
Eat seasonal foods (for example, do not eat cucumbers and tomatoes in winter);
Closely monitor food additives in products (preservatives, dyes, flavor enhancers, etc.);
Do not eat exotic foods that are not typical of our region (papaya, kiwi, pineapple, etc.);
Be wary of products to which a woman has an individual reaction (mum's stomach is twisting from strong fried foods, for example). If the mother has a reaction, the baby will also react.
A nursing mother should independently determine which foods she will eat during lactation, by trial and error. It is possible that she will not have to adjust her diet at all.
Foods your baby may react to:
citrus fruits (tangerine, orange, lemon, etc.);
raspberries, strawberries, sea buckthorn;
honey, nuts, chocolate, coffee, cocoa;
protein products (milk and dairy products, eggs, poultry, fish, legumes, soybeans, etc.);
artificial food additives (dyes, stabilizers, preservatives, flavors), baby food, teas for lactation in granular form;
medications that a nursing mother has a reaction to.
