Nursing mothers should use only those drinks that do not contain ethyl alcohol, harmful preservatives, dyes, and substances that can cause allergic reactions in the baby. Preference should be given to pure water, herbal teas and unsweetened compotes.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are a breastfeeding mother, remember that throughout the entire period of active lactation, you must carefully monitor what you drink. Poor quality drinks or drinks that are completely inappropriate for breastfeeding moms can harm your health and that of your baby.
Step 2
During breastfeeding, drink plenty of clean, gas-free water and warm, sugar-free tea. Please note that the tea should not be too hot. Give preference to herbal infusions, special drinks for industrial-made nursing mothers. Be very careful with decoctions and herbal infusions. Many of them are prohibited for use throughout the entire lactation period.
Step 3
Do not drink green tea, coffee, as these drinks lead to increased nervous excitability. Green coffee, for example, is absolutely contraindicated for women who are breastfeeding their babies, since its components penetrate into milk and can cause quite serious poisoning.
Step 4
Drink cow and goat milk if you and your baby are not allergic to these foods. Try a small amount of the product first. If after 10-15 minutes the baby does not have any allergic reactions, you can continue to drink milk, but in reasonable quantities. Remember that all dairy products contain essential amino acids that are not synthesized by the human body.
Step 5
If you are experiencing certain problems related to insufficient milk production, you can start drinking special teas. They can be purchased at the pharmacy, or you can prepare them yourself. To do this, purchase dill seeds, dried fennel fruits at the pharmacy. The taste of the drink should not be too tart and unpleasant. When purchasing commercially produced teas, give preference to packaged rather than granulated products.
Step 6
If you have problems with lactation, drink black tea brewed with milk. Try to drink unsweetened compotes as often as possible. For their preparation, use apples, pears. Add berries to compote only if they do not cause an allergy in the baby.
