Many women think that if you are breastfeeding,it is imperative that you follow a strict diet. There is even the concept of "diet nursing mother." And while in Europe, doctors urge not to limit themselves, women in the post-Soviet space continue to compile lists of harmful products.
Of course, it is necessary to understand food duringbreastfeeding should be correct. Not for mom, but in general - for any person. Everyone knows that you can not drink alcohol in large quantities, smoke, eat a lot of chips and drink a lot of Coca-Cola - but this is not recommended in normal times, because it is harmful. Harmful to mother, it is harmful to baby - it is harmful!
As for all other products, here they must be treated wisely. There is a list of products that are usually ranked among those that are not present in the diet of a young mother.
It looks like this -
Any canned food
Marinades and pickles
Roast
Salty
Smoked
Semi-finished products
White cabbage
Beans, peas and other legumes
Mayonnaise, Sauces, Ketchups
Cream Cheese
Grape, Citrus
Carbonated drinks, coffee, tea ...
You can write and write this list.Only a young mother has nowhere to go and lick her lips, because practically nothing is impossible! And this is against the background of fatigue and lack of sleep - the eternal companions of the first months of life with a small child.
In Europe, doctors say food duringbreastfeeding is not much different from your normal diet - you can eat everything (except frank hazards), you need to understand when and how much. For example, you can eat cabbage, but just after feeding and a little bit. Or drink coffee. Then for the next feeding you will not give the baby what may affect him. We in fact, in most cases, just want to feel the taste of a particular food, and not to eat it to satiety.
There are explanations in part to these diets for nursing moms.- women are afraid that the child will have a stomach ache, colic will begin. In fairness, I note that 95% of children will have colic regardless of whether you breastfeed or mix it, eat well, or eat canned cabbage. Nutrition during lactation in most cases is not to blame. A young mother can only get upset and think that she ate something "wrong."
However, some products on the list are there.deservedly - for example, grapes increase gas formation and, with a high degree of probability, we can say that you will not be able to sleep well at night if you eat grapes. From the beans, as you know, there can also be gases. Although some people do not have a reaction to it. Whether any product is coming or not for your child, you can only learn by trial and error — try a little — if there is no reaction — you can eat. Another thing is that there are a lot of products, until you introduce them all on the sly - colic is already gone.
Очень важно заранее узнать у родственников, нет Does anyone have allergies in the family? If there is one, you should be extremely careful not to eat strong allergens like citrus fruits, strawberries or chocolate. Nutrition during breastfeeding is an important issue that should be given great attention.
Do not forget that with mother's milk babygets vitamins and nutrients, so mom also needs to take it from somewhere. To limit yourself, to sit on a rigid diet consisting of a piece of boiled beef and buckwheat is not worth it. Meals should be balanced during this period. Not eating for two, but eating for two is the golden rule of a nursing mother.
Diet during breastfeeding - whatever it iswas, can have a detrimental effect on the amount of milk. Therefore, doctors in most developed countries say that until about 8–9 the first months of a child’s life, mothers should eat well and varied (!), And not go on diets. Try to combine breastfeeding, nutrition and good mood!
