From 2 weeks to 4 months from the date of birth, the baby often experiences pain from intestinal colic. Thanks to some tips, the mother can relieve or completely relieve the baby from pain by eliminating dangerous foods from her diet.
Whole milk
When choosing fermented milk products, please note that they should be fresh, better made on the day of consumption.
Whole cow's milk, in contrast to breast milk, which is devoid of antigenic properties, can cause allergies, manifested by bloating and intestinal colic. It can be consumed in small quantities or replaced with fermented milk products such as kefir, fermented baked milk, cheese and cottage cheese.
Raw vegetables
Vegetables containing a large amount of fiber are difficult for the body to digest, especially without prior heat treatment. Vegetables that cause colic in newborns include: carrots, radishes, cabbage. These foods should be boiled or stewed for better absorption.
Potato
Due to the high starch content, the consumption of potatoes is more disturbing to the tummy of the crumbs. You can cook it after soaking it for 2 hours in running water. You will perform this same procedure when it comes time to introduce potatoes as complementary foods for your baby.
Legumes
Beans, peas, corn in grains or on the cob, lentils are also difficult for a nursing mother to digest. They should be completely eliminated for the first few months of breastfeeding.
Black bread and yeast dough
Bread, pies, pancakes and pancakes mixed with the addition of yeast cause fermentation in the digestive system of both mother and baby. Eating freshly baked pastries is the same as raw dough. Indeed, the fermentation process takes place, and when the baked goods are warm or cool, then your stomach digests the finished product, and not the dough.
Carbonated drinks
Mothers who love mineral water should use non-carbonated water for drinking. As a last resort, you can leave a glass of soda water for a few hours until the gas comes out.
In addition to the harm from dyes and flavors, carbonated drinks have a detrimental effect on the absorption of breast milk in a small body. Any carbonated drink contains water, carbon dioxide, dyes and flavors. In addition to the undesirable effect of drinking a drink containing artificial additives, in combination with water, carbon dioxide activates the secretion of gastric juice, increasing its acidity and causing the formation of gases.
