A nursing mother should adhere to certain nutritional principles, especially if the baby was born very recently. On the one hand, food should be healthy and varied so that the child receives all the substances he needs. On the other hand, food eaten by the mother can cause allergies in the baby and cause gas and tummy problems. Therefore, mom should be careful about the choice of ingredients for the salad.
Instructions
Step 1
For the first 2-3 months, a woman should avoid foods that can cause allergies in the baby. These include seafood, nuts, citrus fruits, eggs, mayonnaise, and soy sauce. Contrary to popular belief, colorful vegetables like carrots and beets are okay. In the first months of a child's life, it is better to exclude tomatoes and exotic vegetables and fruits from the diet. Dairy should be limited, but a spoonful of sour cream or a few cubes of cheese in a salad is fine.
Step 2
The relationship between mother's nutrition and colic in a child is not so simple. Colic is a physiological process of intestinal maturation and cannot be corrected with food. However, the mother's food can lead to increased gas production in the baby, and this will greatly increase the painful sensations. It is almost impossible to predict what a child will have a puffy stomach from. First of all, focus on yourself: if the mother has consequences from taking a product, the baby's tummy will almost certainly react in the same way. The most common culprit in gaziks are legumes, cabbage and potatoes. However, individual intolerance to products can only be identified empirically.
Step 3
Thus, up to 3 months you can eat the following salads: boiled beetroot with garlic, carrot salad with apple, fresh vegetable salad with herbs (without tomato), boiled beef salad with boiled carrots and pickled cucumber (from homemade preparations) … These dishes can be seasoned with sour cream or vegetable oil of your choice. If you are at the festive table and want to eat a conditionally unhealthy salad, for example, Olivier, you can afford 1-2 tablespoons.
Step 4
If your baby is already 3 months old and has not had any allergic reactions to food, gradually start introducing foods that you previously refused to eat into your diet. Thus, by the age of six months for your baby, almost all restrictions on your food will be removed.
Step 5
During this period, your menu may contain salads containing nuts, eggs, chicken, tomatoes and other previously prohibited foods. But you should not add 2 new products to the dish at once. Otherwise, if a child develops an allergic reaction, you will not be able to determine the cause. You can try the following salads: vegetable salad with tomatoes; vinaigrette with home-pickled cucumbers; salad of cucumber, radish, eggs and green onions with sour cream; cabbage salad with carrots, bell peppers and onions.
