A loving mother always cares about the health of her child. And what is most important for a newborn? - One of the important points is to solve the problem of proper nutrition of a nursing mother: what can be eaten during breastfeeding, and what is not recommended, because together with milk, the mother will pass on to the baby both the beneficial components of her diet and not so much.
What you can and cannot eat while breastfeeding
First of all, you need to prepare - in the first month of breastfeeding, even the strictest diet will not help you - the baby adapts to the outside world, to eating through the stomach, and not the umbilical cord, so sometimes it can have gas, intestinal colic or diarrhea. This should not be scared, the baby will quickly get used to the new conditions, and then it will be possible to gradually introduce new products into the mother’s diet.
You can keep a food diary to track your child’s reaction to a product. Every day, write down the foods you ate and your child’s behavior.
Short list of allowed products
- Vegetables. Be sure to heat-treat, for the first time, refrain from eating them raw. Bake, cook, stew. Freshly squeezed juices are available after one month. After three - enter fresh vegetables into the menu. Read more about vegetables with HS

Narrated by Nina Zaichenko: Mom's nutrition during breastfeeding - general principles
When I was breastfeeding my baby, I practically didn’t eat sweets, I drank tea without sugar, I ate cereals, soups, bread, pies with meat or eggs. She began to eat fruits when the baby was 4 months old, first an apple, then a banana, and oranges and tangerines only by the 9th month.
Nowadays, many young mothers have problems with breastfeeding, many complain of a lack of milk. I think your article will be very useful for many young mothers
I breastfeed the baby and eat a little bit of everything, I just watch the reaction. All kids are individual.
We are only a week old, and we eat everything a little bit and monitor the reaction. I’m even afraid to eat something wrong ...
Girls, hello everyone. And I don’t agree that the Internet is all lies and just a way to intimidate mothers. From my own experience I can say: everything is fine from birth with my first child, thank God. From the first days of life, she’s absolutely everything, nothing I’m not limiting myself. I only had colic for the first month, gave espumisan and Plantex and everything passed. But with the second, this number didn’t go through. I have three months, I eat almost nothing, he has all the gas, no cramps so that I don’t eat it. Each day he sleeps for an hour or so and until three in the morning he cries because of colic in his stomach. so you shouldn’t neglect the opinions of specialists in articles so much.
My daughter has an allergy climbs on almost everything that I would not eat. Hypoallergenic mixture spits out, does not eat in any. (((
I agree with Catherine, we are only three weeks old, but I try to eat a little bit of everything, just look at her reaction, I don’t understand and I don’t recognize any diets.
to have breast milk is not necessary to drink cow's milk! It has already been proven that most babies are allergic to cow's milk. this milk is for the calf and not for anyone else. proteins in cow's milk are not split and difficult to digest. and the cow doesn’t drink someone’s milk and doesn’t eat meat so that it has fat milk. and the cow has VERY fat milk. it is enough to eat butter, walnuts, plenty of greens of vegetables and fruits
The text of the article says “Refrain from grapes ...”, and when you click on the link it says “Grapes and apricots can be safely eaten, they contain the elements necessary for building bones.” . So what about grapes?
About the grapes. Grapes can be eaten, but after three months. In general, everything depends on the reaction of the child)
I do not quite agree with this article. All children are very different. Our baby, as it turned out, has a terrible allergy to EGGS, ANY !!! DAIRY PRODUCTS (including cheeses and butter), and especially SOY !!! And soybeans are everywhere, starting from meat products and ending with loaves. And also bananas and cherries. So I mean, you don’t guess the baby’s reaction until you try.
Well, about grapes - it’s just impossible in the first months, it’s still a pediatrician who told me as a lover of grapes. everything else is really according to the reaction of the child, I won’t react to everything - my husband once I remember in the first months somehow decided to cook dinner, and forgot that garlic should not be added - oh, and then we tormented with a little ....))) well I remember right now with a smile, although the tiniest thing started when feeding with the mixture - we didn’t manage to find the right one, tried a bunch of brands, eventually stopped at nuppies - it’s at least of European production (Estonia), the composition is suitable and the child does not burp and then with a chair things are good. grow, what already there)
I did not deny myself anything with my first two daughters - never had any reactions and digestive problems. Now she gave birth to a third daughter (8 days ago). I live in Italy in Sicily. When she was discharged from the hospital, she asked the pediatrician what I should not eat. He said (and then confirmed the pediatrician at home) THERE IS EVERYTHING YOU WANT. if a person should have an allergy, it will appear at any age, so the sooner you find it, the better. When I asked if citrus fruits could be looked at me like a fool. The question followed: “Why not? "I say, they say they banned me in Russia, red apples and citrus tomatoes. The doctor opened his eyes even wider and says “Tomatoes ??? And then what can you eat? ” That is, all that is prohibited in this article is the main food in Sicily. Legumes, tomatoes and fruits. Only soda and alcohol and smoking are the same. But alcohol too .... here to red wine the attitude is different. Half a cup a day is only advised
Hello! I, too, the mother of three children :) gave birth to a daughter three weeks ago. So I eat everything a little grapes, cucumbers, chocolates we eat with pleasure. Bloating on a tomato and eggs.
Children are all unique :)
Good day.
The psychological state of the mother is very important.
No normal mother will drink and smoke if she is feeding her baby.
Everything else is from the evil one. There are obscure professions - a nutritionist and an allergist.
I look with sorrow at my daughter, who reads these “professional” tips on the Internet.
At one time, they made notches for 20 allergens. It turned out that I can’t live in this world - all 4+.
SIGNED MANY MEDICINES
It turned out an elementary herpes, which lives in 95% of the inhabitants of the planet Earth and is activated only with a decrease in immunity.
Unfortunately, there are not so many real professionals in medicine.
I support the opinion of Svetlana and Yakutyanka.
I am the mother of 4 children! You can do everything but moderate! You can’t just blow the beans, soda, kefir, cabbage ... coffee and gibs, and of course sausages, mayonnaise, chips and other nonsense ... but normal food can be everything! But what about buns and bread? nonsense .... disagree. and the more there is, the more milk and not sit hungry and think whether or not)
Tea with lemon balm - in Greenfield packaging - milk comes from him perfectly! I advise everyone! The pediatrician advised us.
