Therefore, the menu of the nursing mother, which she makes every day, is very important. It is during this period that the foundation of the child's health is laid. Let's consider, than nutrition of mum at breast-feeding in the first month of a life of your detch differs.

What can you eat a woman during lactation?

Modern pediatricians believe that a nursing mother immediately after birth can in principle include in her diet virtually all the foods that she ate during the gestation of the baby, if they do not cause an allergy. Try not to try something new and unusual: these dishes need to be introduced into the daily menu gradually. Let's consider features of a food at a lactation in the first month after a birth of the baby:

  1. Very useful porridge. For their preparation, you can use buckwheat, corn, rice cereals. Experts advise cooking porridge on the water, and if you really want to use milk for this purpose, dilute it in half with water. Such dishes should have a liquid consistency, but it is not worth using instant mushrooms containing preservatives. Do not overcook the rump before cooking: this leads to the formation of carcinogenic compounds.
  2. The first dish is very difficult to eat without bread, but then it is better for the nursing mother to use bezdrozhzhevye bakery products, cooked on rye or whole wheat flour.

Therefore, the nutrition of a woman during lactation in the first month after birth should include a regular use of zucchini, potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower, onions, carrots in cooked or stewed. Other vegetables such as eggplant, tomatoes, beets, cucumbers until it is better not to try, as well as salads from raw vegetables: in the baby it can cause colic.
  4. Artificial sweets and flour in this period is recommended to limit, but some fruits to treat yourself is acceptable. At the end of the week after the birth, the mother can try apples and pears (but only yellow or green), as well as bananas (not more than 1 piece per day). By the end of the first month, try a little apricots, peaches, plums. However, they should gradually regale their mum: gradually introduce foods into the diet, no more than one new in 5-6 days, always observing if the baby has problems with a stool, increased irritability or skin rashes.
  5. Drinks are a mandatory element of nutrition during breastfeeding in the first month of life of the baby, because mom should take care of the milk to come in sufficient quantities. Lemonades, carbonated water or shop juices will not do any good to your baby. But green tea, compotes from dried fruits, special herbal teas for increasing lactation will be more than appropriate.
  6. In the diet of the mother in the first month of breastfeeding include rabbit meat, turkey, sometimes - home chicken or beef, if the crumb does not have any allergies. If you like eggs, give preference to quail.
