Until recently, it was believed that a woman who is breastfeeding a baby should follow a strict diet so that the child does not have allergies. Now experts adhere to a different point of view about the nutrition of a nursing mother.
To keep the baby healthy, some nursing mothers are ready to eat only buckwheat with turkey during breastfeeding. Unfortunately, such nutrition will bring harm rather than benefit to the child.
Almost everything that a mother takes for food penetrates into breast milk. Therefore, in the first 2-3 months of a baby's life, a woman should not consume strong allergens. These include not only chocolate, citrus fruits, bright vegetables and fruits, seafood, but also eggs. Children may also be allergic to cow's milk protein, so dairy products should also not be overused.
If the baby is free of allergies by 2 months, potentially hazardous foods can be gradually introduced. You can eat, for example, an orange. During the day there is no reaction? Eat another one. And after a few days, you can try a new product. But you should not eat a lot and often of such food. Allergens accumulate in the body, and if the child does not react to one candy eaten by his mother, he may become covered with a rash if the woman eats a bar of chocolate every day.
A nursing mother should eat a variety of foods. Only in this way will the child receive all the vitamins and minerals he needs. In addition, the constant alternation of foods significantly reduces the risk of an allergic reaction in a child.
