Why can not milk feed the mother?
There are several different opinions about whether it is possible for mother to drink milk. On the one hand - tea with milk from time immemorial was considered an excellent means for improving lactation, on the other hand - in untreated milk the mass of bacteria and specific lactose, which is very hard to digest by the children's stomach. The optimal solution for the mother will be to drink milk as rarely as possible and only boiled, and to take calcium from the fermented milk products (kefir, cottage cheese), low-fat cheese.
Despite many restrictions, the nursing mother's menu should not be "hungry", because no one says that nursing mother can not eat anything at all. The basis of the diet should be light gluten-free cereals, lean boiled or baked meat, allowed fruits and vegetables, cottage cheese.
The process of breastfeeding is not only very intimate and enjoyable for the mother, but also, of course, very responsible. If a woman can adhere to a correct and balanced diet, then at the initial stage of life she will give the child a maximum of health and immunity.
