Despite the fact that on the shelves of stores there is a huge variety of milk formulas for feeding, breast milk remains an indispensable product for the health and full development of the child. Breastfeeding provides the newborn with all the necessary proteins and micronutrients, so the mother's nutrition during lactation should be especially balanced.
Instructions
Step 1
In order for the quality of mother's milk to be high and not cause allergic reactions in the child, the mother's daily diet should consist mainly of boiled or steamed products. Mom's diet should contain dairy products - such as sour cream, milk, kefir, cottage cheese and cheese. It is best to buy yoghurts natural, without artificial additives, with the shortest shelf life. They will provide the body with calcium and will have a good effect on the quality of breast milk. Boiled beef and chicken breast will help replenish protein stores in the body. Eating eggs should be reduced to 2 per week. In the diet of a nursing woman, fish dishes, as well as liver and seaweed, must be present.
Step 2
For breakfast, it is best to cook milk porridge, it will energize and give strength throughout the day. Lunch should be accompanied by any vegetable soup, but peas should be excluded if possible, as they contribute to flatulence in a newborn. For dinner, fish steamed with a vegetable garnish is perfect: pollock, flounder, pink salmon, greenling.
Step 3
Fatty fried meat is best excluded from the diet on the grounds that it can provoke excess milk fat and lead to constipation in the newborn. The same applies to fruits and berries, you can eat them, but in limited quantities, as this can lead to an allergic reaction in the child. During breastfeeding, you should limit the use of sweets - chocolate, cookies, waffles. It is better to give preference to a small amount of dried fruits, nuts, candied fruits. If you really want something sweet, you can eat some marshmallow. Salty, spicy and spicy foods should also be temporarily limited.
Step 4
A young mother should remember one simple rule: an increase in the volume of liquid drunk increases the volume of milk secreted, which is not always good, as it can lead to lactostasis. During the period of feeding the child, alcohol and all alcohol-containing drinks, carbonated sweet water, citrus juices and strong coffee should be excluded. It is recommended to drink specialized herbal teas sold in the pharmacy, which have a beneficial effect on breast milk. If there is a BIO mark on the tea packaging, you should not be afraid of this - this means that the tea components are grown in an ecologically clean natural area and are safe. Taking specialized vitamin complexes during breastfeeding will only benefit. They should be chosen after consultation with the attending physician, and applied strictly according to the instructions.
Step 5
Every breastfeeding woman should eat, not only balanced, but also follow a certain schedule. For half an hour before latching the baby to the breast, the mother should receive a full-fledged food and drink. Only in this case, lactation will proceed correctly, there will be no problems, and the development of the child will take place in a positive dynamics.
