Young mommy is not only a wet nurse for a child, but also a mistress in the house. With the birth of the child of cares, the woman is only added, but the role of the hostess is not removed from her. Everyone should be fed into the house: the child, the mother herself, and the father and, if there are, other members of the family.
Well, if the house has an economic dad with outstanding culinary skills or to help come the grandmother with her rich experience in confectionery. But not everyone is so lucky. Many young mothers have to manage alone in the intervals between taking care of the baby, which means that cooking takes a limited amount of time.
Whatever it was, it is not so important who will cook on the table, it is important what dishes will be on it. The birth of a child places on the nursing woman not only new duties, but also certain restrictions in food. Therefore, in order not to worry every day about what to cook such that it was delicious, and did not harm the baby, the main source of nutrition of which is mother's milk, you can start a special culinary book of a young mother, where all the useful recipes will be brought. This book is useful in the family for many more years, because useful natural food (namely, we are talking about such recipes) will always be in price.
Cookies - this is one of the simplest dishes, which can also be in the cookbook, because cooked with their own hands of natural ingredients, it is definitely not harmful to the baby. The main thing is to choose the right recipe for its preparation, and the question, whether it is possible for the mating cookie to mum, will disappear by itself.
Yes, there to say, not fat home cookies can later be offered to a grown up child and older family members who also have to taste mom's baked goods. This option will be much better than the store cookies, especially since all members of the family can take part in its preparation, and then household chores will turn into an interesting game.
Dry homemade cookies without margarine in small quantities a woman with breastfeeding can eat even with colic in the child, because it will not be more dangerous than bread on the table of the nursing mother. If such a cookie cooks unsweetened, then it can actually replace the bread, the yeast in the composition of which is also not useful to the child, like margarine.
In addition, cookie preparation usually does not take a lot of time, and a young mother can bake it on her own. She kneaded the dough, sent it to the fridge, and there is still a couple of hours left to care for the child and doing housework. Then I made out the pastries and sent them to the oven - there is a little time to play with the child. I took out the cookies from the oven, put them to cool, and the rest of the time was at the disposal of my mother and child. And the next day with utrechka you can already have breakfast with a home cookie and bring something new into breast milk. When the baby grows up, he will gladly crunch his mother's pastry and thank his mother with a sincere childish smile.
But enough words already, we'll get down to business and let the nursing mothers replenish her cooking book with tasty and useful cookie recipes for her and her whole family.
