During breastfeeding, women are forced to limit themselves not only in food, but also in beverages. Carbonated water, some juices and alcohol are strictly forbidden.
Virtually everything that has been drunk or eaten by a nursing mother is found in breast milk, and then in the baby's body. Therefore, it is very important for a woman to carefully monitor her diet and fill it with only healthy food and drinks.
Can I feed my baby if my mother has a cold, hyperthermia or other conditions? This issue is very relevant, because the process of breastfeeding is the most important for the baby in the first half of his life, as well as for the mother.
During lactation, the female body reacts more strongly than usual to toxins, aggressive components and external factors, preventing their penetration into the milk. The increased amount of hormones distorts the effect of chemicals, which can cause side effects and undesirable consequences.
During the entire period of pregnancy for the woman there was an almost complete ban on taking any medication. But now the child was born, and the next regular stage begins for the mother - the period of breastfeeding.
Nursing mothers, who usually have good diets, produce healthy breast milk for their babies, even if they have some inaccuracies. But chronically malnourished women who have a very low content of vitamins and minerals, and low reserves in their bodies can produce milk that contains less than usual vitamins A, D, B6 or B12.
Breastfeeding is a blessing and the best food for a baby, because with mother's milk he will receive everything he needs for his development and growth, it will fully satisfy the need for fluid.
Until now, doctors of the old school repeat the dogmas learned by heart many years ago. One of them is the need to give water to the baby while breastfeeding. But is it?
Nutritionists, cosmetologists, doctors insist that a person should drink more water, and this is at least 2-2.5 liters per day, not including liquid dishes, coffee, tea, juices. With the help of it, metabolism, digestion, cardiac activity, and the condition of the skin are improved.
It happens that in spite of feeding, menstruation began a month later, and then disappeared again. Irregular periods after childbirth are common.
