During the period of breastfeeding, a nursing mother is doubly responsible for the health of her baby. After all, her diet and lifestyle affect the quality of milk, which is the main food for her baby. Consider the main negative factors affecting breastfeeding.
What is contraindicated for a nursing mother during breastfeeding?
To begin with, I would like to note bad habits, which are strictly prohibited during lactation.
- 1. Addiction to alcohol
Alcohol consumed by the mother freely enters the mammary glands in high concentration. Together with breast milk, the baby receives this poison, which creates a huge load on the baby’s liver that is still underdeveloped. Alcohol is removed very slowly from the body of the baby, can cause serious intoxication. In mother, when drinking any alcohol (beer, wine, etc.), lactation decreases. More on alcohol…
- 2. Smoking
Nicotine penetrates into milk almost instantly after smoking a cigarette. It has a high toxic effect on the baby's organs. More details…
- 3. Poor body hygiene
If a nursing mother neglects water procedures, especially with regard to the mammary glands, then the accumulated dirt and sweat create comfortable conditions for the propagation of pathogenic bacteria. In a breast-sucking child, sores, stomatitis, and other inflammatory processes can form in the mouth. When breastfeeding, you can not use perfumes, deodorants with strong fragrance, as they clog the pores of the skin, and an intense smell provokes the baby to refuse to breast.
- 4. Increased nervousness and stress
A mother who is breastfeeding should avoid emotional shocks, strain, nervous shocks, because all this leads to a decrease in lactation. And with constant oppression and an unfavorable situation in the family, milk in the breast may disappear altogether.
- 5. It is categorically forbidden to use narcotic substances!
What you can not eat nursing mother
With regards feeding a nursing motherThere is a certain list of foods that are undesirable for consumption during the lactation period.
- legumes (peas, beans, lentils): they cause bloating in infants and provoke strong colic;
- sharp, bitter, too aromatic plants and vegetables (capsicum, garlic, onions), even in the composition of dishes they make the taste of milk unpleasant and the baby may refuse to breast;
- sweet confectionery and chocolate (rolls, muffins, cakes, pastries), they cause fermentation in the tummy, which hurts the baby with an immature intestinal tract;
- citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, lemons) can cause a strong allergic reaction in a baby;
- red berries, fruits and vegetables (red apples, watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes) due to the content of beta-carotene can cause allergies, peeling of the skin, rashes;
- seafood (squid, shrimp, mussels) is also quite a strong allergen, so when breastfeeding it is better not to risk it and not to eat them;
- drinks: sweet carbonated soft drinks (bloating), tea and coffee (increased irritability), alcoholic cocktails (poisoning and intoxication), unboiled milk (pathogenic bacteria) - all this while breastfeeding can cause the baby anxiety and malaise.
But there’s an even more important list of that you absolutely can not eat while breastfeeding. These products should not be in the diet of a nursing mother until the end of the period of breastfeeding, they can cause serious harm to the baby:
- Mushrooms (can cause severe poisoning);
- Smoked meats and sausages (high in fat and artificial additives);
- Ready sauce mayonnaise (milk powder, vinegar);
- Chili pepper (can burn the baby's larynx even through milk);
- Pickled pickles (danger of pathogenic bacteria);
- Fast food products, fast food.
Take your diet seriously while breastfeeding. Let your baby get the maximum benefit along with milk, then his health will be strong to the joy of young parents.

It is useful for nursing mothers to read good tales and listen to pleasant music, then the kids will be calmer
Very helpful article. Daughter on the GV for 2 years. Now I eat absolutely everything, but in the first 6 months I followed a strict diet of a nursing mother. It was hard, but the reward was good nights.
Thank you for the article! Very informative and nothing more! I didn’t even know about red apples and tomatoes, we will exclude ...
Interesting article! I’ll go “delight” my spouse, I will inform you that you can’t consume her favorite jam and jam in her position (I have it for 7 months)
I also kept to a strict diet, but my son had terrible colic, he screamed like that (((After 6 months I started to eat almost everything except fatty, spicy, salty and harmful) Very good selection, thanks!
I could not watch the video to the end, so much extra information and water.
So you read, and it turns out that you can’t eat anything at all. As for coffee, for example. I have anemia, and sometimes, the pressure drops 70:40, no drugs are allowed, no coffee either. And what, die now? And the child will feel good. Also, soda for women with chronic gastritis, and with heartburn, gaviscon does not help everyone, mineral water is better. So you will read and do not want to give birth. If little by little, then you can eat everything, otherwise everyone wonders where the child’s allergy comes from in 2-3 years.
You read .. and the truth, nothing is impossible, sit starving to death! Here, I stuck .. this cannot be, that cannot be ruled out, this is quite a bit .. as a result, it’s milk like water, the child screams, does not eat up ... Everyone has everything individually, you need to eat everything but a little, and follow the reaction, .. we Let's say a month was allergic to chocolates, other sweets (dairy, toffee, candy, caramel) everything is fine. I calmly ate a fresh tomato a month, made a salad on mayonnaise .. no allergies, no rash. But fried potatoes were poorly tolerated. I ate a banana, I could have 2-3pcs a day .. there were no constipations, there was a good chair. red apples also had no effect. Well, I don’t risk drinking soda ... it’s better just tea .. or plain water. Speaking of beer. What nonsense does beer increase lactation? This is complete nonsense !! Do you like beer, drink please, but don’t need to write and inspire such nonsense .. Drink 2 cups of water and you will pour milk as well .. but the question is, what kind of milk is it already, is it healthy? After the water, it’s not, and after that the beer is also harmful. Well, and in general .. when you want something .. whoo ... I do so, I ate hearty, fed the baby, ate the “forbidden fruit” or drank some kaku - expressed ... then I ate normal again and that’s all .. you can advance Express normal milk and refrigerate. ..and eat whatever you want.
In a previous article on your website it is written that you can drink coffee, and in this one - already in the list of prohibited products
The article is not entirely clear. He says that at first you can’t have complex dishes, such as meatballs, since the composition includes onions, seasonings, etc., and then he says that you can freeze and cook these meatballs. And why can’t bone broth, but only meat? I think that just on the bone the most satisfying and rich broth is obtained. Then why not instant coffee and tea bags? I have refused coffee. And it’s more convenient to brew tea in bags and fresh at one time and it’s enough for a long time. All the time I drink only in bags. About cottage cheese with salt and dill do not agree. Cottage cheese with salt never ate and will not eat! Wild combination! Considering that salt should be limited, and that dry seasoning in packets is better, I think to exclude it for the time of GW. Yes, if we are talking about wholesome and natural, seasonings, such as dill, parsley, green onions, I prefer fresh. And why are the products better for the season? It used to be in season, now everything is there! And for this reason that everything is on the shelves, but I can’t eat sweet, fried, smoked, etc., why can’t I afford to eat strawberries, frozen cherries or cucumbers, for example? Given that she said that it is possible and useful frozen, country canned foods. Why is porridge only on water and milk is not allowed? You can even die of starvation, given in the article what is possible and impossible! She contradicts herself here in many ways! The article is not very much water. I can’t believe that she also has 3 children! Usefulness in the article is not enough!
Judging by the above, nothing can be eaten at all! Sorry, where will the milk come from then? And how can mothers recover from childbirth? Personally, I also started on a diet at the beginning, but the child did not gain weight from my milk, and I was constantly tormented by weakness. Then she spat on the “advice” of the mother-in-law and the doctors, and now I eat everything in a row (naturally, I don’t consume alcohol) and, pah-pah-pah, everything is fine, and my child gained weight well.But the mother-in-law was so worried that her poor granddaughter was so small, and now she can’t stop looking at her; but thanks to whom?) And in general, I heard one young mom say they didn’t eat anything, so her milk disappeared altogether in the first month of the war! The conclusion for myself I made was this: mummies, eat everything, a little bit, follow the baby’s reaction, and there you can see for yourself what product to exclude / not exclude from the diet!
Chili pepper (can burn the baby's larynx even through milk) ??? Go crazy, but how will chili be in milk? Milk is produced in the gland, and not in the intestines of mothers, mediocrity, ignoramus, absolutely illiterate authors.
Mommies, don't take yourself to the extreme! Eat just healthy wholesome food, little by little! I was on a strict diet with my first child, to fanaticism (I excluded milk in any of its manifestations, I read compositions everywhere). She became thinner, went hungry and angry, kept a food diary daily and carefully. And on what the child poured and found out !!!! It went by itself! But after a course of enterogermins (I think any probiotics worked). With a second child, I also follow a diet, but without fanaticism, it pours a bit, which I don’t know. At 4 months we’ll take a course of Pribiotics.
I drink coffee every day and drank during pregnancy in the morning one cup of coffee, ground espresso. Something like this. I don’t eat sweets.
Colic (headaches) and bloating up to 2-4 months will be in any case. Nutrition must be controlled due to allergies. That is, just check - eat a little and see if there are rashes or not.
I didn’t lie in the maternity hospital, they fed me everything in a row, and borsch, and beans, and kefir.
Mom should be healthy and happy, but you cannot go far on buckwheat and water alone.
You just need to eat healthy food, no preservatives, a minimum of dyes and flavorings (they are now in any products)
