Can I breastfeed my mother?

At the time of Shrovetide, this issue was the most relevant. It's no secret that during breastfeeding, a young mother should be very selective in food - after all, what gets her mother's body, then he will give it to a baby with breast milk.

In addition to studying the lists of the fact that you can not eat a nursing mother , it is worthwhile to call for help and common sense and to be reserved for patience and observation. There is an opinion that mothers during feeding should eat the same way as during pregnancy. However, this opinion is erroneous.

It is necessary, first of all, to be guided by the influence of products on the child. For example, an abundance of sweets, fresh vegetables, fatty dairy products and carbonated drinks will cause the child to have colic, which will not give the newly mum even a nap. Is the minute taste of a sleepless night worth while? You decide.

As for pancakes and Maslenitsa, consider that pancakes are a calorie and not very useful product for a child: it's a fried, buttery dish, with flour, sugar, eggs, yeast, milk, etc. This is not the most necessary products for the child. However, if you want to eat pancakes while breastfeeding, then use a teflon pan, without any fat. Cook the pancakes on skim milk, replace the flour with ground oat flakes and do not add sugar. It is better to use natural honey, which can be fed to a nursing mother , if it is checked that the child does not have allergies to it. Or to prepare a simple filling of 5% cottage cheese and a spoonful of honey. And tasty, and useful. The replacement of flour with oats will increase the nutrition of pancakes, their digestibility and add value to the child.

Remember - pancakes breastfeeding mom can be in limited quantities! It is advisable not to use yeast. Pancakes with lactation are not prohibited when properly prepared, they will rather please the newly mum, than harm. But still, it is worth first to eat a couple of pancakes and watch the reaction of the child.

So, the verdict: breastfeeding mother can pancakes, cooked wisely and in small quantities!
