Sweet with breastfeeding

Future and newly mums are well aware of the benefits of breastfeeding. Nature took care of the child getting everything necessary for its growth with the mother's milk. This is protection against infections, improvement of physical and mental development, soothing means, a closer emotional connection with the mother. A lot of breastfeeding is received by the mother: convenience of feeding without sterilizing bottles and buying infant formulas, benefits for one's health, including mammary glands and genitals, resistance to stressful situations, daily consumption of up to half a thousand calories for milk production, and therefore not buildup of excess body weight. All these arguments are on one side of the balance, and the counterbalance to them is a certain restriction in nutrition. In what position is the sweet in breastfeeding?

Sweet in the first month of breastfeeding

Many young mothers note that even in not sweet tooth during the feeding period there is an acute desire to eat sweet. This is explained by the fact that when feeding the body, a large amount of energy is expended, besides, a high physical and emotional load falls on the woman, and carbohydrates give a surge of energy, contribute to the development of serotonin, a hormone of joy, and improves mood. What kind of sweets can a nursing mother in the first month of a child's life? Experts say that a woman should eat fully and diversely, do not give up the sweet, but know the measure. The first month of a baby's life is the time of cautious experiments with a set of products, including sweets. If a child does not manifest a diathesis from one or another sweetness, then the mother can afford it in small amounts.

What from sweet it is possible at thoracal feeding?

What of the sweet is still preferable to breastfeeding, and what is better to give up? Let's analyze specific products and determine whether they can be:

• halva - even in Soviet times there was an opinion that halva must be eaten because it increases the fat content of mother's milk. Now it is proved that fat content does not depend on food, but only on the need of the child in different age periods. Based on the natural composition of halva: seeds or nuts, molasses or caramel mass, a foaming agent (recipes for cooking different), nothing that can harm a child is not. True, some pediatricians warn of her allergenicity, but small portions and control over the reaction of the child will give the opportunity to allow her favorite pet dainty;
• chocolate - it is recommended the first two or three months of the child's life to refrain from eating this product because of its allergenicity. Its dangerous components are cocoa bean proteins, milk proteins, chemical additives, caffeine;
• jam - if the sweetness is cooked at home from fruits and berries from your dacha, then there will be no harm to the child. The purchased treat may contain flavors, colorants and other harmful components. It is best to give apple, but plum and apricot slack and can cause diarrhea in the baby;
• marshmallow - in its composition are two main components: egg whites and apple purees, but there are also other composite, not always useful. If the product of food industrial production is replaced by a domestic one, then this is an excellent low-calorie treat. Buying in the deli, you need to study the composition, do not take a cheap product, do not take on a bright color, because there is definitely a color in it;
• Honey - a very valuable product in the diet of a woman, tk. Is a storehouse of vitamins and trace elements. A significant drawback is his hyperallergenicity. Therefore, in the beginning, you can try to eat a very small dose and follow the reaction, then slightly increase the portion. The absence of rashes will make it possible to increase the value of breast milk;
• wafers - not recommended for lactation until at least three months of age of the child. The reason is still the same: the presence of emulsifiers, dyes, other additives. With an uncontrollable desire to eat waffles, you need to limit yourself to a small slice;
• ice cream - in favor of the ban of this product speaks the fact that often with use we feel its unnaturalness and lament that it used to be much tastier. In addition, ice cream contains casein, which is capable of provoking lactose deficiency. And yet, if the mother allows herself a little of this sweetness, then preference should be given to the usual fillings, not chocolate or fillers;
• pies - any homemade pastries are much better than the purchased ones and are not forbidden by the feeding mom, if not for one "but" - the yeast in its composition. They lead to the processes of fermentation in the tummy of the baby, resulting in its swelling, colic. It is best to cook unleavened products, and take flour not of the highest grade, tk. It to obtain a white color is bleached with the chemical substance of benzoyl peroxide, and 1 grade - more coarse grinding with a lot of vitamins and trace elements. As a filling you can use useful berries, apples;
• sweets - there is a wide variety of these confectionery products. Sweetheads are very difficult to resist such a delicious temptation and yes, it is not necessary, if it is a question of one or two things. If you want more sweets, then for this chocolate, caramel, jelly are not suitable, they contain many substances harmful to the baby. It is best to cook sweets for yourself, for example, meringue, grilling, from various dried fruits, nuts;
• condensed milk - there is a misconception that this is a very useful product in the lactation period and that it increases the flow of milk. Modern research refutes this fact, moreover, it is proved that because of the large amount of sugar and fat content it harms the child;
• cake is a high-calorie product that will not benefit either the mother or the baby. In addition, the purchased products contain various additives of chemical origin. By making a simple-made cake with known ingredients, a woman will have a double pleasure and will not harm the child;
• pastila - most often made from apples, but other fruits can also be used. If a child does not have an allergy to a particular fetus, then this is the safest sweetness for a small one. Pastila refers to easily assimilated carbohydrates, is rich in vitamins of group B and PP, so it will not only bring pleasure to mom, but also benefit. And yet there is no daily pasta, but limited to 2-3 times a week in small portions;
• sweet tea - during feeding, a woman should drink plenty of liquid and a few cups of weak sweetened tea will not do any harm. Despite the fact that tea contains active components of tannin, caffeine, theophymine, theobromine, with its low concentration in the body gets a small amount of stimulants. Preference should be given to green and white tea. Teas with various flavors, as well as carcade (red) should not be drunk, so as not to cause allergic reactions;
• sweet cotton wool - is a sugar syrup, its color depends on the dye. Fans of air mote from sweet fluff are recommended white delicacy, without the addition of dyes and in limited quantities.
