The nutrition of the nursing mother plays a key role in the development and health of the nursing baby. A young mother needs to know the basic rules for drawing up her menu, because it is not only useful, but also helps, with strict adherence, to lose the extra pounds acquired during pregnancy.
Instructions
Step 1
The basic rule is to drink enough liquid. It can be clean water without gas, weak tea, compotes, fruit drinks, herbal teas. The latter include various herbs that stimulate milk production, such as rose hips, cumin, nettle, lemon balm, as well as fennel, which helps in the fight against increased gas production in babies, especially the first months of life, and its use by a mother will not be superfluous. I also want to note that all drinks should be only slightly sweetened, since the baby does not need excess sugar, and besides, it can also cause gas formation. The total volume of liquid should be about 2 liters per day.
Step 2
The meat should be dietary, therefore it is recommended: turkey meat, rabbit meat, low-fat beef, as well as river fish. It is better to steam or boil these products. You can make various meatballs and cutlets, which turn out to be very juicy if you add permitted vegetables to them.
Step 3
Vegetables: beets (which helps with constipation and mom), carrots, some potatoes, zucchini, green bell peppers, celery, eggplant, onions (as part of cooked food). Vegetables are consumed in moderation and not preferably raw at the first stage of feeding. It is necessary to exclude: cabbage, mushrooms, all legumes, corn, cucumbers, this is due to the increased ability of these products to cause bloating in the baby.
Step 4
Fruits: bananas and baked apples. Do not experiment with exotic fruits that can become strong allergens (mango, avocado, pomelo, grapefruit, kiwi, and even tangerines and oranges).
Step 5
Baking and bread: as for confectionery, marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade, dry biscuits are allowed. From about three months, you can use a regular biscuit with apples (charlotte), but if the baby is not allergic to eggs. Bread is best used from wholemeal flour, as well as yesterday's, in which the yeast has stopped.
Step 6
Cereals: eat porridge! Buckwheat and oatmeal are very useful.
Step 7
Dairy products: only cheese (hard varieties) and butter. It is not advisable to use the rest of dairy products or very carefully, because they can provoke lactose deficiency. Try not to eat foods that can cause allergies: chocolate, cocoa, honey, eggs, nuts, smoked meats, bright red and orange fruits and berries, marinades, fatty fish, strong broths, fried foods and canned food. Compliance with the rules of nutrition of a nursing mother will help reduce the manifestation of colic and flatulence in the baby.
