Melon is a real summer treat. Few people refuse to taste the juicy fragrant slice of melon in the heat. It perfectly quenches thirst, tones the body. Pregnant girls can and should include melon in the list of foods used - the melon fruit contains a large amount of folic acid, which is absolutely necessary for the development of the unborn baby in all three trimesters of pregnancy. But is it allowed to young mothers a melon during breastfeeding? We will try to find the answer to this important question.
Is it possible or not?
Melon is impossible if:
The first thing to think about is whether a nursing mother is an allergic person. Allergy predisposition to close family members is also taken into account. The fact is that melon is a fairly allergenic product, and can cause a baby to have skin rashes. Therefore having even the slightest doubt, it is better to postpone the introduction of melon in the diet of a nursing mother until later 
time.
Another minus of melon is that it contains a large amount of sugars - fast carbohydrates. Sugar has the property of causing fermentation in the stomach, and this leads to increased gas formation, colic in the baby. Therefore, the first three months after giving birth to a mother who is breastfeeding, it is better to refrain from melon.
Melon can be:
If you and your child have a normal reaction to those already entered vegetables and fruitsthen you can also try melon. In fact, she is a storehouse of vitamins. And in combination with fiber and carotene, this is a real therapeutic product for constipation and bowel problems.
Melon while breastfeeding is very useful - it stimulates the flushes of milk in the mother. But you should not eat melon on an empty stomach, and even more so with diseases of the stomach - gastritis, peptic ulcer and others. Melon can trigger the onset of an acute course of the disease. Melon is also contraindicated in diabetes.
If a nursing mother ate a melon and she developed symptoms - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, upset stomach - you need to take an absorbent and call an ambulance. All of the above can talk about poisoning.
How to buy a good melon
You should not buy melons even in the season, because for early ripening, chemicals are used that are dangerous to humans when ingested. Always carefully choose a melon - its surface should be free of cracks and chips. Pathogenic bacteria usually accumulate in them. Never buy cut melon! Try to choose smooth, neat specimens with a characteristic sweet aroma.

How to enter into your diet
Melon during breastfeeding should begin to try a small piece. During the day, closely monitor changes in the condition of the child. If everything is in order - the next day you can afford two servings of the sweet pulp of the fruit. So, by the end of the week with a normal reaction of the mother and baby, you can afford to eat three or four slices of melon per day. Not more - still it is necessary to adhere to measures.
Melon, like any product, has its advantages and disadvantages. Responsibly to your diet while breastfeeding, only then will the food bring you both pleasure and benefit.

I tried all the products a little bit and waited 2 days if the baby did not have a stomach ache and diathesis did not go out, but included the products in the diet, but of course not in large portions, but little by little, so as not to harm and not spoil the taste of milk
I tried melon when my daughter was 4 months old, on the first day 1 piece, I did not notice any negative reactions, so on the second day I allowed myself more. Although, it seems to me, the main thing in any matter is to know the measure.
I love melon very much and when I fed the child I could not resist and ate a piece. All night my baby suffered later. A rash appeared on the face and hands. Since then, for a year I forgot about the melon, and at an older age I started giving a little to the child already and everything was fine
