Is this okay to eat while breastfeeding? Yes.
The founder of the School of Health, nutritionist Ekaterina Tolstikova refutes 2 pieces of advice from Aunt Zina and neighbor Galya, who attended the «Soviet school», and the myths about the diet of a woman who breastfeeds her child varied.
«And this means that the red tomato does not affect the speck on the baby's face (maybe this is generally a transient condition), and the bread does not cause colic, as and other products. Therefore, the main rule is to follow a healthy diet without any diets, tables, Soviet recommendations «, the expert writes.
- It is important to eat fish (the need for iodine, choline is increased with HB), but consider the amount of mercury (although I don't think you fry tuna steaks or eat swordfish every day, you can google that list).
«COFFEE?! Oh my God! YES! It's possible, it's possible! If there is a desire. Because only this amount of caffeine will affect the baby if you drank 10 cups (although if you do not sleep, then carefully with the calculations). PS. Chocolate contains little» caffeine, also tea», — the doctor refutes the myths about these products during breastfeeding.
And what about alcohol?
If 150 ml of wine, then breastfeeding is possible only after 2-2.5 hours, if less (about 50 ml), then you can not follow this rule.
