There is still a stereotype that during pregnancy and after it you need to eat for two, they say, you need more nutrients and fats. But the importance of the quality of food consumed is not indicated here. A balanced diet of a young nursing mother does not mean eating more foods, but eating only those that couldUt become useful for her body and the baby’s growing body.

What you need to focus on when feeding after giving birth:

Milk products. In addition to all the benefits of natural milk, any lactose-containing products improve lactation, and therefore, the baby gets more trace elements and calories when breastfeeding. But here you need to be careful, in some cases, when breastfeeding and drinking milk, flatulence can begin, which also negatively affects the quality of breast milk; Poultry meat and fish. During pregnancy, the mother's body experiences extreme stress, in which it is depleted. To make up for proteins and carbohydrates necessary for normal functioning, you need to eat quite a lot of protein. But, fried meat is strictly contraindicated. It is advisable to boil a fish and chicken in slightly salted water; Boiled vegetables. They, in most cases, are introduced into the diet of a nursing mother immediately after cesarean section and natural birth, this nutrition will help to avoid constipation. Of course, many people want to immediately start eating fresh vegetables and fruits, but they can negatively affect the quality of milk during lactation, in addition, many cause colic and allergies in the child; According to the principles of Ayurveda, it is extremely useful. Cereal products - This is oatmeal, buckwheat and natural muesli. As an additional nutrition, you can introduce various dried fruits, this will help normalize the work of the stomach and intestines;

Necessary Drink a lot. It is simply necessary to increase the milk of a nursing mother, a large amount of warm drink is required to be introduced into the diet (the menu includes special teas, herbal infusions, water with honey). Immediately in the hospital give compote of dried fruits, you can drink it in general in unlimited quantities.

Separately, you need to consider the item about drinking fluid. With lactose deficiency, you need to drink at least one liter of warm liquid per day. With constipation (which occurs in the first week after the birth of the baby), you need to focus on warm tea diluted with milk.

Of course, all items are individual, because someone is allergic to lactose or gluten-containing foods, and someone eats on vegetarian principles. In any case, before introducing a new dish into your menu or, on the contrary, an exception to the diet, you should consult your doctor. This is especially true for feeding a premature baby.
