Most importantly, do not use spoiled ingredients. Even with slight signs of wilting. Sometimes they become a source of pathogenic bacteria. When it enters the intestine, it activates the processes of decay. Any poor-quality product can cause an unwanted reaction in a baby. The body of the crumbs is individual.

Do not use spices in cooking. This violates the quality composition of milk. Changes its taste. May cause colic in the baby's tummy. The food uses ingredients that have been tested by the baby that do not cause an allergic reaction. When introducing new food into the diet, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the child. Rash, skin redness, indigestion require immediate discontinuation of this product.

Salads can be eaten by nursing mothers every day. Only fresh food should be consumed. During storage, bacteria develop in them. This is the source of the intestinal infection. By preparing food from products that are healthy for the child, you can get not only high-quality, but also delicious snacks. This diversifies the daily diet of mommy. It will be a wonderful decoration for your holiday table.

Conclusion

Nursing mothers need to carefully monitor nutrition. The main thing is that food should be healthy and safe for the baby. The main requirement for products is the absence of allergens and preservatives.

Remember that you need to introduce an unfamiliar component with caution. Start with a tablespoon, increasing the dose daily by a spoonful to the required volume.

Mother's milk is unique in composition. Especially useful in the neonatal period. Products eaten by a nursing woman should in no case change its quality.

Breastfeeding provides for a ban on many products for a happy parent, but for the New Year, of course, I want to treat myself to something delicious. It is worth figuring out what the New Year's menu should be for a nursing mother of a newborn in order to please her and, at the same time, not harm the baby. Despite some restrictions, women have the opportunity to have a wonderful celebration and taste wonderful dishes without worrying about the consequences.

Prohibited foods while breastfeeding

At birth, the baby stops eating through the umbilical cord, which connects it with the mother's body. Now he is forced to do this on his own, because he cannot get already processed food. At this time, his digestive system intensively adapts to new conditions, so the quality of mother's milk is of great importance.

In this regard, in addition to taking into account the caloric content of food and the balance of nutritional components in it, there are certain limitations in products intended for the mother's diet.

Among the prohibited dishes and products:

meat varieties with high fat content;
smoked meat and fish;
pickles, dishes using vinegar, ketchups, sauces, mayonnaise, all kinds of marinades (vegetables and mushrooms);
any preservation, regardless of whether it is plant or animal food;
fast food, semi-finished products;
sausages of various types;
before the fifth and sixth months of feeding, it is not recommended to consume whole cow's milk, which is a powerful allergen for a small child;
gourmet varieties of fish, such as salmon, dorado, sea bass, as well as seafood;
corned beef, stroganina, game and meat of deer, wild boars, and other wild animals;
meat dishes with blood, raw and half-baked;
spicy seasonings used for cooking - spices, which include a large number of various additives, flavor enhancers, flavors, are generally better to refuse while natural feeding occurs;
purchased cakes, cakes, pastries - all these goodies may contain harmful fillers and additives, and they can be successfully replaced with fruits or homemade pies;
Mom should not eat mushrooms until 6-7 months, and later it is best to start with champignons, in general, this is a heavy food that cannot be digested by the baby's body.
fruits that are not typical for the area where the mother lives, and citrus fruits - these fruits can cause allergic reactions in the baby, but brought from afar can be spoiled and cause an infectious disease, and in some cases, intoxication in the child.

Of the drinks, any carbonated water is contraindicated for a mother who is breastfeeding, so it is better to give preference to compotes from dried fruits and berries, juices, mineral water without gas. And, of course, alcohol is forbidden for a young mother. True, for those whose child is already four months old, you can drink one glass of wine or champagne, but after that you can’t breastfeed your baby for 12 hours. So you have to feed the baby well and stock up on pre-expressed milk for him.

Particularly strict restrictions apply to the first week and, in general, the first month of feeding a child, when mothers are forbidden even berries and fruits, chicken, especially fried, which many people cook for the holiday. But boiled veal and rabbit meat are quite acceptable. There are many other allowed foods, so it's worth considering what you can breastfeed for the new year.

What is allowed to eat a mother during lactation

In fact, the diet of a young mother is the most balanced diet that helps her keep her body in excellent condition, and, consequently, the composition of her milk fully satisfies the needs of the child.

In fact, mothers can eat many foods and dishes, of course, with appropriate preparation:

From meat products, this is, first of all, lean beef, turkey, rabbit and veal, it is also allowed to cook cutlets from home-made minced meat, fresh chicken liver dishes. Such fatty poultry varieties as duck and goose can be used only when the baby reaches the age of 5 months, at the same time lamb and pork can already be consumed.
Fish products can be represented by sea and river fish - pike perch, pollock, hake, cod.
From vegetables, the parent can choose fruits such as cabbage (all types except white cabbage), zucchini, carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers, potatoes and pumpkin;
If the child is already a couple of months old, the mother can afford cherries, pears and currants, fresh bananas and apples. From dried fruits, prunes, dried apricots, raisins and dates are allowed.
From cereals, mothers are shown rice and buckwheat, corn - all these products should not contain gluten, which the child's body cannot digest due to the lack of certain enzymes.
Nursing mothers can use fermented milk products - sour cream, yogurt, kefir, make gravy and sauces for their dishes from them, which are no worse than purchased sauces.
Also on the list of allowed dishes are vegetable and butter, eggs, herbs (green onions, dill, leaf lettuce, parsley).

At later stages of lactation, lactating women may well enjoy sweets, such as vanilla marshmallows, marshmallows, dry cookies and biscuits, dark chocolate, homemade cookies with a little sugar. Of course, you need to understand that sweets, like other foods, should be consumed in moderation.

With a good imagination, from a variety of these products it is possible to prepare wonderful dishes that will decorate the New Year's table for a nursing mother, but we must not forget that she cannot be fried, so you will have to choose a different type of heat treatment.

Judging by the impressive list, the New Year's menu for a nursing mother of a newborn will not differ much from any other on such a day, but some adjustments will still have to be made:

Literally the next day, she will be able to feed the baby, since alcohol is excreted from the body within a few hours. If the baby is only a month old, you will have to do without alcohol and drink compote or juice.
Since in the first months of lactation you will have to give up lamb and chicken, due to the content of allergens in them, you can cook an idea, rabbit meat, lean beef for hot. The meat is best baked or boiled.
As for fruits, tangerines, oranges, as well as kiwi and pineapples can also worsen the child's condition, but they will be perfectly replaced by bananas, dried fruits, pears, apples. Mom will be able to eat other fruits only in the third month of lactation.
Cakes, sweets and pastries are also prohibited, but in the second month of breastfeeding, a woman can already gradually start eating marshmallows, halva and marmalade, so that the parent will not be completely without sweets for the holiday.
Regarding sausages, they can be consumed three months after childbirth, with the exception of smoked meats, which are undesirable until the end of feeding.

Helpful Hints

When preparing for the New Year or another holiday, a woman who is breastfeeding a child in a natural way should think in advance:

Delete in advance from the list of products for the festive table those that can cause allergies. To do this, it is worth testing them in advance so that trouble does not happen on holidays.
If a visit is planned to visit friends or acquaintances, the child should be taught in advance that he will stay with one of his relatives or with a nanny, because it may happen that due to stress the baby refuses to suck milk from a bottle.
When the child is very small, it is better to stay at home and try to organize a celebration more modestly, because at first the baby has to be fed quite often.

Knowing what the New Year's menu should be for a nursing mother of a newborn, as well as simple cooking recipes, you can not worry that the holiday will fail. Even staying at home, there is an opportunity to please loved ones with a beautifully set table, especially since it will contain so many healthy and tasty dishes for the whole family.

Therefore, all preparations for the holiday this year will have to be carried out taking into account the interests of the smallest family member.

In a small family circle...

From the very beginning, you need to decide where you will spend the holidays. Given the characteristics of the baby's body, it would be better if you decide to celebrate the New Year at home in a narrow family circle. If guests nevertheless decide to visit you, then it is desirable that they be the closest friends and relatives whom you and your baby know well and in whose presence you will not experience any discomfort. Remember that large crowds of people indoors favor the spread of infections, especially in winter, when the frequency of various respiratory diseases, including influenza, is high. And as you know, it is the baby and the recently given birth mother who are most susceptible to infections in the first months after childbirth due to the lack of immunity during this period. This is especially true for newborns, for some reason early transferred to artificial feeding, and therefore deprived of the opportunity to receive protective factors with mother's milk.

In addition, a long stay of guests can be tiring not only for the child, but also for the mother. Most women are very tired in the first weeks after childbirth, as their body has gone through complex physiological changes associated with bearing and giving birth to a child. At the same time, the birth of a baby, especially the first one, requires a lot of emotional stress and stress from the mother, which predisposes her body to fatigue. So, despite all the troubles associated with the holidays, mom should not forget to relax. Even before the holidays, it is better to strictly limit the visits of friends and relatives. And in order not to look inhospitable, you can safely refer to the doctor's recommendations.

around the tree...

Despite the fact that the child is still very small, parents sometimes want to create a festive atmosphere for their crumbs in the house, dressing up the Christmas tree, hanging balloons and garlands. However, know that now they are not entirely relevant for your child. A baby of the first months of life can only hold his gaze for a few minutes even on the most beautifully decorated Christmas tree. It should not be forgotten that crackers, sound effects, and just loud music or speech can cause a small child to be frightened, and an abundance of various stimuli, both visual and sound, can cause overexcitation of the baby’s central nervous system, leading to causeless crying, sleep disturbance, and sometimes - and to the refusal of food. Particular attention should be paid to children born prematurely, with signs of immaturity, with changes in the central nervous system. Believe me, for these crumbs it is much more important to have peace, warmth and timely nutrition than all kinds of holiday entertainment and the changes associated with them.

I'm going to visit

If, nevertheless, you decide to visit close relatives or friends with the whole family on these holidays, you need to stock up on everything you need to care for a small child. These are a pair of diapers, spare bodysuits, blouses and sliders, disposable diapers (necessarily with a margin for unpredictable situations), baby wipes (both oily and soaked in lotion), with which you can wipe the hands and face of the crumbs, clean the skin of the buttocks. If the baby is breastfed, then the problem of nutrition is solved for him, while for a child who is bottle-fed, it is necessary to take a sufficient amount of milk formula with him. Be sure to bring baby drinking water with you, which will be needed not only for preparing milk formula, but also for drinking for your baby. Be sure to bring a few of your toddler's favorite toys as well so that the change of scenery is not so noticeable, as young children prefer constancy in the world around them. The comfort of the baby will also provide a familiar sleeping place - it can be a portable playpen or a removable cradle from a stroller.

When visiting, remember that it is important for a small child that his daily routine and diet remain the same, despite the mass of new entertainment that has appeared.

Festive table of a nursing mother

In order for the New Year holidays to pass safely and not harm the health of mother and baby, you should carefully consider the preparation of dishes for the festive table. It should not be forgotten that breastfeeding mothers are not recommended to drastically change their diet. And the introduction of each new product should be extremely cautious, moderate and gradual. The immature digestive system of a young child is not yet able to quickly adapt to changes in nutrition, including the mother's diet. It is useful for parents to know that the appearance of allergies in children of the first year of life can lead to the formation of allergic diseases with a more severe and prolonged course in subsequent years of the baby's life.

When preparing festive dishes, it is necessary to give preference to such types of culinary processing as baking, stewing, steaming. Delicious and healthy for the mother's body will be dishes made from meat and vegetables. To do this, it is preferable to use low-fat meats with a low allergenic disposition, such as pork, turkey, rabbit. You should refrain from eating chicken and veal.

The use of baked, boiled or stewed fish by a nursing mother is acceptable, but in moderation, as it can cause allergies in an infant. Whereas salted, smoked fish, as well as canned fish should not be consumed at all. The consumption (even in small quantities) of seafood and caviar, which are highly allergenic products, is undesirable for a nursing woman.

On these New Year holidays, mom will also have to refrain from eating various sausages, smoked meats, canned food that can contain a large amount of allergens (preservatives, dyes, stabilizers, taste and color improvers, etc.). Yes, and holiday salads can bring grief, as they often contain foods that can cause allergies and indigestion not only in mothers, but also in babies (mayonnaise, eggs, crab sticks, exotic fruits, etc.). We should not forget that if the storage conditions are violated (a long stay on the table in a warm room), salads can cause poisoning and intestinal infections, which are so undesirable for a nursing mother.

When preparing dishes for the New Year's table, you will have to do without adding spices at all or use them in minimal quantities, since the essential oils contained in spices can not only change the taste of breast milk, but also provoke allergic reactions in the child in the form of a rash, indigestion and stool. In addition, spices can stimulate appetite, which during breastfeeding is already strong, leading to the appearance of such unwanted extra pounds in a woman.

On this New Year's holiday, it would be better to fill your mother's glass with some kind of non-alcoholic drink prepared on the basis of juice or fruit compote. However, there are limitations here as well. It is not recommended to use juices from tropical fruits, citrus fruits, as well as orange and red fruits: they can cause allergies in a child. Grape juice can enhance the fermentation processes in the intestines of a nursing mother, leading to increased gas formation and colic in the baby. Therefore, it will be optimal for you to use not too sweet compote or juice from green apples, cranberry or lingonberry juice.

On this holiday, a nursing mother will also have to give up sweet carbonated drinks containing substances that can have undesirable effects on a nursing baby. The presence of dyes, flavors and preservatives in them can lead to various allergic reactions in infants, and the carbon dioxide and sugars contained in carbonated drinks can provoke bloating and colic, overshadowing the New Year holidays with excessive anxiety and crying crumbs. In addition, some sugary drinks may contain caffeine, which can stimulate the baby's immature nervous system.

The use of sweets - sweets, cakes, cakes, etc. - will also have to be postponed during these New Year holidays. In addition to the fact that sweets are a source of "empty" calories, they are classified as products with a high allergic mood, which is undesirable for both the mother's and the child's body. Therefore, when preparing a dessert, preference should be given to fresh or frozen fruits or berries (blueberries, blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries).

However, we should not be upset by all the limitations we have listed. Just think: when will you still be able to celebrate the New Year at a table filled with only wholesome and healthy food?

And at the end of the preparations for the holiday, it will be great if the mother, despite all kinds of changes in her appearance that occurred during the pregnancy of the birth of the child, still pays attention to herself by putting on makeup, putting her hair in a beautiful hairstyle and putting on - even for a short time - a festive outfit.

Holiday without alcohol

All women who are breastfeeding, regardless of their state of health and predisposition to allergies, are not recommended to drink alcoholic beverages (including beer), since alcohol, getting into mother's milk, can harm the baby, having a toxic effect on him. It turns out that up to 10% of the alcohol consumed by a nursing woman in unchanged form can be present in breast milk. Alcohol can give milk an unpleasant taste and cause the baby to refuse the breast. In addition, alcohol consumption can lead to a decrease in the production of milk in the mother's breast, inhibiting the mechanisms of lactation. Such effects are especially undesirable for nursing mothers in the first weeks after childbirth, when the formation of milk production processes is just taking place.

A series of New Year holidays is at the doorstep, probably every housewife is actively thinking through holiday menus. Attention deserves the development of a menu for a nursing mother. She makes a decision based on the fact that food should not harm either her body (the threat of excess weight, an increase in the waist) or the baby (allergic reactions, food poisoning).

The impression that a mother cannot afford a festive table is deceptive! What food temptations can be satisfied on this night, what should be avoided, how to replace traditional holiday dishes?

First of all, remember that it is unacceptable for the nurse's holiday menu to differ significantly from the daily nutritious diet. This is of particular relevance when breastfeeding children up to three months of age, their nutritious diet has not yet been established. There is a high probability of disturbing the nutrition of the baby, provoking colic, a violation of the frequency and fractional composition of the stool, and other symptoms of an eating disorder.

Of great importance is the current state of health of the nursing mother, the susceptibility of the crumbs to allergic reactions. If the baby is highly allergic, you are also not in the best shape - choose your holiday diet carefully. Allergic reactions that occur during the first 12 months of a peanut's life often lead to the occurrence of complicated forms of allergic pathologies in the future.

Experts strongly do not recommend mixing protein in various forms and variations. For the digestion of different types of proteins, different enzyme components are needed that the stomach is not able to produce at the same time. The use of several types of protein at the same time leads to heaviness in the stomach area. Excessive consumption of protein through mother's milk by a toddler will lead to disruption of the normal functioning of the kidneys, provoke a violation of the frequency and fractions of the stool.

A significant change in nutrition can lead to spontaneous rejection of the baby from the mother's breast. Think thrice before pulling Olivier or mushrooms in your mouth. It is strictly forbidden for a nursing mother to eat, and not only from the festive table, a number of products.

forbidden food

The nurse is strictly forbidden to eat:

- everything, including low-alcohol cocktails. Ten percent of the alcohol consumed by a nursing mother, regardless of its form, enters through mother's milk directly into the baby's body. The quantity also matters, experts insist - you can’t even take a sip. More than one lecture can be read about the negative impact of alcohol on the baby's developing organism. We hope that every young mother has a general idea of the degree of danger, intoxication of the child is most likely.
Strong tea, cocoa - drinks excessively excite the developing nervous system of the baby.
Garlic, onion, red pepper - products change the taste of mother's milk, there is a high probability that the baby will refuse breast milk.
Cooked foods and various sauces rich in preservatives, artificial colors, flavor enhancers, and other chemicals.
Burning, sweet, sour seasonings and spices with a specific taste, additional harmful components. Excessive consumption of such products changes the metabolic process - immediately in the nursing mother, and then in the crumbs. Try not to eat excessively salty, sour, spicy, sweet foods.
Canned food and semi-finished products (meat, fish, vegetables), produced on an industrial scale - provoke colic in a baby.
Fermented and fresh cabbage, carrots according to the "Korean" recipe, various beans, black bread - lead to excessive formation of gases.
Packaging mayonnaise containing many allergic components (home-made is possible).
Seafood - caviar, red fish, spicy herring, squid, mussels.
Soy in various variations, this also includes fish and meat dishes with incomplete heat treatment (sushi).
Salo, fried meat, smoked sausage - such food provokes gastric disorders, which is associated with a high content of concentrated fatty acids.
Mushrooms prepared according to various recipes - a high probability of food poisoning.
Fruit from other geographic areas, especially red and orange. As well as citruses, strawberries, raspberries. A new fruit can lead to an unexpected reaction of the mother's body. In a newborn, exotic will provoke an allergic reaction, colic. Out-of-season fruits and vegetables are high in nitrates.
Sweet carbonated water, varying degrees of carbonation. Limit the consumption of milk, chocolate, honey, nuts, eggs.
Sweet dishes and pastries (cakes and cream puffs) in large quantities. Such products harm the nursing mother, only in large quantities. In a toddler, they provoke increased gas formation and colic.

The list initially makes a shocking impression, but after cooling down a little, you can create a varied and tasty holiday menu for the wet nurse, which is not much inferior to the traditional holiday diet. Let us examine specifically what you need to eat and drink for a nursing mother, how to cook it.

main meal

Dishes from fish, meat, eggs (protein). Such food acts as a cellular building material; it is not replaceable for a mother when breastfeeding a baby.

Lack of meat in the diet will lead to anemia. Lack of food rich in proteins is unacceptable! Animal protein is indispensable for mother and baby. In the absence of such meals, the body proceeds to extract the reserves of the protein component directly from the body.

When cooking meat and fish, the method of processing products plays a significant role - stew, boil, steam. Fried foods have a negative effect on the body of a little man.

When preparing hot foods from foods rich in protein, preference should be given to meat and fish of low fat content:

beef;
rabbit meat;
chicken;
veal;

pollock;
haddock;

Vegetables - provide the body of the mother and baby with a complex of vital vitamins, useful components. Vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which stimulate the digestive system.

Exotics can provoke an allergic reaction in an infant. Choose vegetable and fruit products that are characteristic of the climate zone native to the toddler. Exceptions include banana, avocado.

Raw vegetables are not recommended to eat - boil, bake, process them with steam. Compared to others, fruits that have a green color have a significant benefit. The best option is vegetables and fruits grown independently in an individual garden or vegetable garden.

Thus, boiled or baked potatoes and vegetables, combined with a variety of cereals cooked in a special pot, with the addition of butter and herbs, are considered the preferred side dish.

The nurse should not drink strong coffee, tea, cocoa. Reconstituted juice, cocktail or smoothie - have a negative effect on the baby's developing body, it is better not to drink them while breastfeeding.

Dessert

Although chocolates in this situation should not be consumed, it is not necessary to completely exclude desserts from the menu. During childbirth, the mother loses endorphins, which causes anxiety.

Desserts contribute to the normalization of hormonal balance. Avoid eating cakes and puffs, cakes filled with butter creams, condensed milk.

How not to disturb the nutritional balance

Now any hostess can easily prepare a varied table for all family members.

However, so that after the celebrations you do not have to drink No-shpa, you must follow simple rules:

Do not work up an appetite for the New Year's table throughout the day. Have small snacks from time to time.
Carefully monitor the amount of food you eat, excessive food is always harmful.
Do not try all the dishes at once, determine the sequence. Lay and eat dishes in order, finished one - go to another.
You should not eat fatty, fried, heavy meals for the stomach at the beginning of the feast. Start with light snacks, then you can move on to baked or boiled dishes.
Eat slowly - you need to chew your food well. So the stomach will be easier, saturation will come much faster, with a small amount of food.
When eating meals, it is not recommended to consume a lot of liquid. Periodically washing down meals, it is much more difficult to get enough. When drinking - you can eat much more dishes, just keep in mind that the load on the stomach increases multiple times.

The main rule that a nursing mother should be guided by when forming the New Year's menu, and in everyday life, is that you cannot harm the little one. Remember that the components that enter the mother's blood pass through the mother's milk into the baby's body. We wish good health to you and your baby!
