Lactation is one of the main stages of happy motherhood. With milk, the mother gives the child all the vital elements and antibodies, laying the foundations of immunity and psycho-emotional health. Her nutrition is entirely reflected in the child and must be rational and balanced. Even in the maternity hospital, doctors warn which foods should be consumed while breastfeeding and which should be avoided.
The newborn’s body is just adapting to new food and its digestive system is extremely unstable. During this time, it is important to adhere to a certain diet and try to avoid foods that cause colic and allergies.
The list of allowed foods that can be eaten before day 10 includes:
After 10 days you can add to the menu:
From the third month, the list of allowed products increases.
You can start eating:
The list of prohibited foods that should not be eaten during the postpartum period includes:
Prohibited foods (for 6 months of breastfeeding) include:
When breastfeeding, mothers should be careful about the foods they include in their diet. It's not just about the list of approved foods that don't cause gas, anxiety, or colic in a newborn. In hot weather, it is necessary to ensure that food is clean, safe and fresh. It happens that foods included in the list of permitted foods, which the mother ate calmly during pregnancy and after childbirth, weaken and cause allergies in the baby. It can manifest itself not only as a rash, itching and irritation, but also as greenish stool, diaper rash, and crusts on the head. As a result, the baby worries, cries, and burps frequently and profusely. You should find out which product provokes such a reaction.
Always pay close attention to what you eat while breastfeeding
Sometimes identifying an allergenic product is quite difficult. One baby will calmly tolerate a red apple, while another will feel discomfort from boiled meat. Everything here is very individual and the mother herself must track down the product that is harmful and prohibited for the baby. Some babies sometimes simply do not digest some of the food included in the mother's menu. They experience bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation. Such products need to be calculated and temporarily excluded from the menu.
The mother's nutrition during breastfeeding, if the baby is absolutely healthy, should be natural and complete. If you need to increase the fat content of milk, you can include nuts, sour cream, cereal soups, and cream in your diet. A nursing woman needs to eat food enriched with vitamins and proteins, limiting the intake of carbohydrates and fats. Fruits, berries and vegetables should be included in the mother’s menu, but even here you need to carefully monitor their effect on the baby. For example, grapes, plums, apricots and pears are weak and can cause bloating and increased gas formation. You need to start introducing them in small slices, peeling.
Important! To track your baby’s reaction, you can keep a notebook. In the compiled list, enter when and what products were introduced. If the reaction is normal - there is no rash, colic, frequent regurgitation or anxiety, the product can be safely used. If the reaction is extremely negative, mark the date of its introduction, highlight it in red and try again after a few months.
The influence of allergens on a fragile body is extremely dangerous not only due to anxiety and rashes, but also the occurrence of atypical neurodermatitis and eczema, which can develop into a chronic form and remain with the child for the rest of his life. As a result, he will have to be treated for a long time with pills and folk remedies, which will negatively affect the pancreas and intestines.
In order to limit the baby from unpleasant consequences, the following products cannot be included in the menu of a nursing mother for up to six months:
· THE COLOR RED IS FORBIDDEN FOR MOTHER!
This category contains liquids and products that are prohibited during breastfeeding, the consumption of which by the mother during breastfeeding can be dangerous for the baby. As a rule, it is recommended to exclude all allergens from the diet for breastfeeding women. In particular, a nursing mother can eat vegetables and fruits, but not orange or red. I think you've heard that food during breastfeeding should not contain tangerines, oranges, red apples, carrots and other “dangerous” foods. That is, all orange and red foods are prohibited when breastfeeding, due to their possible allergenicity. However, the baby may not be allergic to these products, but it’s definitely not worth checking before 6 months, and then with caution - one slice is unlikely to do any harm.
What breastfeeding foods should absolutely not contain is alcohol. Calming herself with the thought that one glass of red wine will not affect the baby in any way, the mother must be aware that any alcohol, without exception, is 100% absorbed into the baby’s blood along with breast milk!
The list of prohibited foods when breastfeeding includes fresh and canned spicy and spicy foods. Such as onions, garlic, hot peppers, wild garlic, mayonnaise, hot sauces and other concentrated, rich foods. They give the milk a spicy taste and can cause breast refusal, heartburn and other digestive problems for the baby.
Mustard, horseradish, black strong coffee (especially instant), dark chocolate containing more than 70% cocoa, blue cheeses and soft, so to speak “fresh” cheeses with various herb additives - a list of products that make milk bitter, and are not recommended for use in breastfeeding mothers.
Food during breastfeeding should not contain spicy herring, mussels, squid, octopus, especially in sauce. Mom should not eat cod caviar, pollock, especially those containing additives. In addition to possible allergies and a heavy load on the kidneys, they make the milk salty.
Foods prohibited when breastfeeding include fresh or canned tuna and shrimp. These products provoke allergic reactions.
· YELLOW COLOR – CAUTION, BUT POSSIBLE!
There are a number of different foods that until recently pediatricians forbade nursing mothers to eat. Modern doctors have come to the opposite opinion. Eating these products is not only possible, but even necessary, but they should be introduced into the diet during breastfeeding carefully, gradually and in small quantities.
Eat a little and sometimes melon, beets, fresh kefir, beans, peas, vegetable oil. If there is an excess of them in the mother’s diet, this leads to bloating and upset bowel movements in the baby.
Pears, persimmons, pomegranates, rice, shortbread, fresh bread - a list of foods that can stick together when breastfeeding and, if in excess, cause constipation.
Cow's milk, grapefruits, oranges, black currants, red fish and caviar, eggs, semolina, corn and millet porridge are certainly healthy foods, but can cause allergic reactions in a child.
· COLOR GREEN – AS MUCH AS YOUR SOUL WANTS!
The list of foods marked with this “food traffic light” color can be eaten without hesitation or special restrictions while breastfeeding. It’s good for both you and the baby!
Dill, parsley - contribute to your baby's visual acuity.
Lettuce, gooseberries, black currants are foods that increase immunity.
Pumpkin, zucchini, perch, cod - contribute to the rapid development and growth of the baby.
Natural yogurt and cottage cheese are essential for the skeletal system and dental health.
Ryazhenka, kefir, ayran, oatmeal, cauliflower, broccoli - promote better digestion.
And of course, allowed foods during breastfeeding are:
· LIST OF FOODS THAT YOU CAN EAT AND WHAT ARE PROHIBITED WHEN BREASTFEEDING
Let's summarize. So, nutrition during breastfeeding can include everything you ate during pregnancy. By the way, this also applies to so-called generally allergenic products. The only exceptions can be considered cases of real allergies in a woman to certain foods or dishes. If the mother has an allergic reaction to food products, then the baby who is breastfed will most likely manifest it.
Of course, this rule only works if the measure is followed. That is, you can easily eat one peach, or 10 strawberries, if you really want to. A piece of chocolate will not do any harm if you are not allergic to it. To identify foods that are really not suitable for your baby, enter food diary , and monitor all your baby’s reactions to new foods. Introduce everything new gradually and step by step, making sure it is safe for the baby.
In the first months of life, in 90% of cases, various rashes appear on the skin of babies - some have less, some have more - as a rule, this is normal. Often, products that are suspected of being allergenic, when tested again after a couple of weeks, do not give any allergic reaction, including a rash. Most often, the reaction occurs to flavors and dyes in food products for breastfeeding mothers. Therefore, the most important thing is that the mother’s food is natural, the dishes are prepared independently, and consumed freshly prepared. And of course, everything should be in moderation!
You can also drink almost anything, it is advisable to be careful with new juices, and the most common drinking clean water should prevail in the diet.
Remember: before the introduction of complementary foods, that is, up to 6 months, the baby must try everything through mother’s milk!
· List of prohibited foods when breastfeeding:
· Breastfeeding: limited foods allowed
· Breastfeeding: permitted foods
1. fermented milk products (kefir, yoghurts without additives, bifikefir, bifidok, etc.);
2. cereals (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal, corn, etc.);
3. bread – rye, with bran, 2nd grade wheat;
4. fruits and vegetables (green, white);
5. meat - lean pork, beef, turkey fillet, stewed and boiled chicken, steam cutlets;
6. soups – vegetarian;
7. drinks - tea, fruit drinks, dried fruit compotes.
· Strong allergens for nursing mothers and newborns:
MILK. There is still a common misconception that a woman needs to specifically drink up to a liter of goat or cow milk per day in order to increase the nutritional value of breast milk. In fact, it increases the risk of your baby developing a lactose allergy. Whole milk contains more than 20 substances that can cause an allergic reaction. Milk proteins are particularly resistant to heat, which means that it should not be drunk in large quantities, even when boiled. In a one-time case, an allergy can manifest itself as skin rashes; with regular attacks by allergens, the baby may develop intolerance to milk and any dairy products, and even to mother’s breast milk, which is the worst thing. When breastfeeding, it is better to give preference to fermented milk products, and add milk to porridge, diluting it with water.
EGG WHITES. This product can be a serious allergen for your baby. This mainly applies to chicken eggs; less often, allergies are provoked by goose or duck eggs. Quails become irritants in extremely rare cases, almost never. It is recommended that a nursing mother eat only one hard-boiled egg per week.
STEAM MEAT. This product should not be included in a woman’s diet while breastfeeding. This is especially true for the “lower parts” of the carcass, as it contains the most dangerous substances. Buy fresh, fresh meat and place it in the freezer of your refrigerator - after freezing and further thawing, the concentration of allergens in the meat decreases.
P.S. There’s no need to talk about what “nonsense” this is. I myself don’t agree with a lot of things. This article is here for general information; it may help someone in some way.
Breast milk is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fatty compounds, vitamins, microelements and other nutrients. This abundance comes to the child from the mother's body. Therefore, it is very important to make a nursing mother’s diet correct, balanced, and varied to regularly replenish losses. The diet must be enriched with main food groups: a variety of fruits, baked goods, dairy products, vegetables, meat, fats, fish, berries.
The diet of a nursing mother must include:
The nutrition of a nursing mother has a direct impact on the amount of milk produced in her body. If you don't eat well, the quality and quantity of your milk will suffer. How to increase lactation, what foods to eat? First, it is worth remembering that the daily diet should be 2500 kcal. You shouldn’t eat for two; you need to learn how to choose the right food.
To improve the quality of milk, daily include in your diet 200 g of meat or fish, a glass of kefir or milk, 100 g of cottage cheese, 30 g of hard cheese, that is, the emphasis in nutrition should be on protein-rich foods. If you supplement it with fruits, vegetables, and whole grain bread, lactation will increase and the body will be provided with all the necessary substances. It is also important to observe the correct drinking regime in the diet of a nursing mother. You should drink two liters of liquid per day.
Nutrition in the first month of a nursing mother is very important for the child, since then the foundation of his health is laid. At first, the diet followed is strict, but gradually new dishes are included in it. They should be introduced carefully and gradually in order to have time to track the baby’s reaction to each product. At the same time, nutrition for a nursing mother should be equivalent in fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamin and mineral composition, calories and dietary fiber. For convenience, below is a table that describes in detail the diet of the first month.

It is mandatory for nursing mothers to consume meat and dairy products daily, and boiled eggs a couple of times a week. |
For proper nutrition, a nursing mother should keep a diary where you will record the time of the meal and everything that was included in it. This will allow you to track products and adjust your diet correctly. It is better to choose whole grains as the basis of your diet, such as buckwheat, oats or rice. Give preference to bread made from wholemeal flour. The diet of a nursing mother must be enriched with dairy products with a low percentage of fat. And fermented milk products should not contain fruit substitutes, dyes or sugar.
Nutrition for a nursing mother with colic in a child should be balanced. It should contain carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, fats, and microelements in sufficient quantities. The calorie content of the diet is 2500 kcal, which allows you to produce the required amount of milk, and at the same time will not harm the mother’s figure. The drinking regime includes two liters of liquid, represented by green and black weak tea, drinking water.
If the baby has colic, industrial juices, carbonated drinks, sweet, salty and fatty foods are prohibited for nursing mothers. You shouldn’t get too carried away with homemade juices either. Foods that provoke increased gas formation are strictly contraindicated for a nursing mother: chocolate, legumes, cabbage, whole milk, mushrooms, onions and garlic.
Nursing mothers are allowed to eat vegetables only in baked, stewed or boiled form and only in white or green color. Before consumption, apples are peeled and baked in the oven. Dairy products should be removed from the diet for a while, but kefir can be left in the diet. Their return to the diet should be gradual, while at the same time you need to monitor the baby’s reaction.
To maintain normal breastfeeding, it is important for a nursing mother to follow the correct drinking regime. You should drink at least two liters of fluid per day. Immediately after birth, large amounts of water should not be administered. Before breastfeeding, when colostrum is produced, the amount of fluid consumed is limited to one liter. Otherwise, when you start producing milk, you will have an excess of it, which will make it difficult to separate.
Nursing mothers should avoid whole milk in their diet. It contains foreign proteins, which can provoke the development of allergies in the baby. Industrial juices should be completely excluded, and homemade juices should be consumed in moderation. In the drinking regimen of a nursing mother, include non-carbonated mineral water, broths, yogurt, kefir, fermented baked milk, yoghurts, dried fruit compotes, herbal infusions and decoctions.
The ban on such products for nursing mothers is due to the fact that they can harm the milk (make it very salty, bitter, spicy), provoke heartburn, allergies, and colic in the baby. In general, when breastfeeding, it is necessary to monitor each dish: what is harmful to one child will not have an effect on another. Broccoli, cabbage, beans, onions, peas, coffee, and dairy products can cause bloating and colic. Nuts, citrus fruits, eggs, chocolate can provoke allergies, so during the first months you should not overuse these products.
Remember that initially nursing mothers should not give up the entire list of foods that can have a negative impact on the baby, otherwise you simply will have nothing to eat. Try foods you like in small doses while keeping an eye on your baby. Introduce these dishes one by one, gradually. And if, for example, after eating stewed cabbage, your child begins to bloat, then eliminate this dish for at least a month.
The topic of the video below is a woman’s varied diet. It tells about five food groups that are the basis of a complete diet. In addition, the doctor talks about people’s misunderstanding of the term “varied diet.”
During the period of breastfeeding a newborn, it is very important for a mother to properly balance her diet in accordance with the needs of her body and the baby, who is gaining strength. In the first months after pregnancy and childbirth, a nursing mother needs to recover. At the same time, we must remember that this is a time of active formation and growth of her baby, for whom mother’s breast milk is the only source of all vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
When forming her menu, every nursing mother needs to adhere to clear rules, because when she eats something, it all enters the newborn’s body and affects his well-being. These rules are very simple:
Dairy and fermented milk products are, of course, very important in the menu of a nursing mother. However, you should avoid getting too carried away with them.
Porridge is very useful for both mother and baby. While breastfeeding, your menu should definitely be rich in cereal dishes. Eat buckwheat, oatmeal, wheat, and corn porridge for your health. Feel free to combine them with vegetables or dried fruits, this will stimulate the intestines well.
When the child turns 3 months old, you can introduce barley, pearl barley, millet, semolina, and rice porridge into your diet. Do this gradually in small portions. Keep an eye on your baby's stool.
Don't give up bread. But let it be rye, wholemeal or with the addition of bran. You can eat crackers.
Try to choose pasta from durum wheat.
A nursing mother is recommended to eat poultry, rabbit, lean beef, and beef tongue. These products should not be consumed heavily fried, seasoned with hot and aromatic spices. The best and healthiest way to boil or steam meat is to make meatballs or meatballs from it.
While the baby is breastfed, it is advisable for the mother to eat only low-fat fish (hake, carp, pike perch). A couple of times a week, include boiled, stewed or baked fish in your menu.
Seafood should be abandoned until the child is 8-9 months old. Like all products exotic for our area, they are completely undesirable for the fragile developing organism of a baby.
Vegetables are a must on a nursing mother's menu. The fiber and fibrous structure of vegetables stimulate intestinal function. And their saturation with useful substances is simply a storehouse of health for mother and child.
From the very first days after the birth of your baby, you can safely include boiled, steamed or baked vegetables in your menu:
From 3-4 months of age, the baby can eat carrots, beets, tomatoes, eggplants (stewed or baked). By 5-6 months, it is advisable for the baby to try almost all foods through mother’s milk and prepare for the introduction of the first complementary foods.
Onions and garlic are saturated with essential oils, so they can give breast milk a bitter taste and unpleasant odor, which will repel the baby. These products should not be consumed raw by a nursing mother.
Be sure to add vegetable oil to vegetable dishes. It perfectly complements the taste and promotes good functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Fruits can be eaten throughout the feeding period. But add them to your menu gradually, carefully monitoring the baby’s body’s reaction. Every day, mom needs to eat at least 300 g of fruit and drink 250-300 g of fruit juices (preferably with pulp).
A nursing mother must drink enough fluid per day (at least 1.5-2 liters). This is important for good lactation and for the painless functioning of the whole body as a whole.
A nursing woman should not eat foods that can cause any pain in the child (from flatulence, loose stools and skin rashes to Quincke's edema). To do this, the mother must know well what products and when she can supplement her diet, after what time the menu can be expanded, and what possible painful reactions of the child’s body to innovations.
A nursing mother should not eat the following foods:
Remember that a woman’s balanced, high-calorie diet while breastfeeding is the key to the health and good health of your child.
The period of breastfeeding is one of the responsible and important moments in the life of a new mother. Breast milk contains a record amount of valuable and essential substances that make it possible to fully provide the baby’s body with all the necessary components for its healthy growth and development. The good health of the baby directly depends on the diet of the nurse. It is worth noting that breast milk is the only source of nutrition in the first days and months of a child’s life, so the young mother has a huge responsibility.
Now let's look at this in more detail.
Proper and nutritious nutrition for a nursing mother is the key to the well-being and health of the baby. During the lactation period, a nursing mother should pay special attention to her diet and understand that all the foods she eats are absorbed into the baby’s body. The more a woman monitors her nutrition and follows a certain diet, the better the baby will feel. The list of permitted foods for a nursing mother in the first months of life is quite limited. It contains only those products that will not disrupt the functioning of the child’s digestive system or cause allergic reactions. The mother’s need for a strict diet is explained by the fact that after birth, the child’s internal organs and systems have not yet matured, so consuming any prohibited product can cause colic, bowel dysfunction, allergies and even poisoning.
The list of products that a woman is allowed to eat during the first month of breastfeeding is quite limited, but even with a small set of products you can eat well, and most importantly, not harm the baby’s health. With each new month of the baby’s life, the list of permitted foods and dishes will expand. In addition to the permitted food products for the mother, which we will discuss below, the choice of the products themselves and their quality, on which the condition and health of the baby depends, is also considered important.
By following some rules when breastfeeding, you can eliminate many problems and ensure your baby feels good and sleeps healthy.
The first month of the lactation period is very important for the newborn and his mother. It is important to understand that even a small amount of forbidden food eaten can negatively affect the functioning of the baby’s digestive system. He may develop colic, bloating, frequent regurgitation, the baby will become restless, refuse to feed, constantly be capricious and cry. To avoid such symptoms, a woman should be well aware of what foods may be present in her diet, and in what quantity. When breastfeeding, a woman can independently create a menu that will include permitted products. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the table and sample menu for 1 day for a nursing mother in the first month of the baby’s life.
| 1st breakfast | 200 g of porridge with milk (oatmeal, buckwheat, rice), a cup of weak black tea and two or three pieces of dry biscuits |
| 2nd breakfast | a sandwich with hard cheese, a glass of natural yogurt or low-fat kefir, dry cookies. |
| dinner | 150 g of vegetable broth soup, 100 g of mashed potatoes with minimal addition of butter and milk, 1 steamed lean meat cutlet, a glass of dried fruit compote and rye bread. |
| afternoon tea | 150 g of low-fat cottage cheese with sour cream, a glass of dried fruit jelly or compote. |
| dinner | stewed vegetables with the addition of lean meat (150-200 g), weak tea. |
| before bedtime | dry cookies with a glass of kefir |
The provided menu can be adjusted at the discretion and desire of the nursing mother, but in any case it should include only approved, safe, fresh and healthy food products. Particular attention should be paid to the drinking ration. Breastfeeding experts recommend consuming 2.5 liters. liquids per day.

In order to help a nursing mother create a menu, it is important to know what foods can be consumed in the first month of a child’s life. Any new product should be introduced into the diet little by little, while monitoring the baby’s condition. If after feeding, a few hours later, rashes appear on the cheeks, the baby becomes restless, and is bothered by colic, then it is better to avoid this product.
All of the above food products can be used to create a menu for nursing mothers in the first month. As the baby grows, the list of permitted products expands, but still, when introducing any new product, you need to monitor the child’s reaction. All risks can be reduced if new foods are introduced in small portions.
You need to follow a diet throughout the entire period of lactation, but as the child grows up, starting from 4 or 6 months, mothers can introduce complementary foods, which at first should be tiny. For example, starting from 3 months, you can give apple and carrot juice, but you need to start with a few drops, gradually increasing. Chicken yolk can also be used as complementary food, one fourth per week. A pediatrician who has been monitoring the child since birth can tell a young mother about complementary feeding.
In order for nutrition to bring maximum benefit to a nursing mother and her baby, it is important not only to choose the right food products, but also to follow some recommendations for food consumption.
During the lactation period, a nursing mother will have to give up many foods and favorite dishes. It is strictly forbidden to consume the following foods, even in small quantities:
In the first months you need to give up various exotic foods and fruits, berries, with the exception of bananas. It is forbidden to eat red apples, pomegranates, tomatoes and other vegetables and red fruits. You should not take foods that the woman has never eaten; the result can be unpredictable. When a child grows up, gets stronger, and has no allergies, the menu can be expanded. It is important to understand that not only the well-being of the baby, but also the quality of breast milk, as well as stimulation of lactation, depends on the mother’s proper nutrition. A woman’s diet should be balanced, healthy, fortified and complete.
Experts in the field of pediatrics assure that if a mother does not want her child to develop colic or allergies, there is no need to consume prohibited foods. You can return to your favorite dishes only when the lactation period ends.
Almost all newborn babies under 3 months suffer from colic, but it can be temporary and go away quite quickly. If the baby is breastfed and the woman neglects her diet, colic and bloating will become constant. The baby will have difficulty latching on to the breast, will be constantly capricious, and will often wake up with pain in the tummy. All these symptoms have a bad effect not only on his well-being, but also on the functioning of the intestines and the central nervous system. In addition to digestive problems, many forbidden foods are strong allergens, so after the mother eats them, the baby may develop a rash on the body, which is almost impossible to get rid of without medication.
It is possible to eliminate all kinds of difficulties and prevent various health problems for the baby, but for this, the mother must create all the necessary conditions for his comfortable and healthy growth, carefully monitor her diet, and periodically visit a pediatrician.
In the first months of a baby’s life, the digestive system is formed, so if intestinal function is disrupted from the first days, the consequences may appear at an older age. Until the baby is 6 months old, a woman is advised to be especially careful about her diet, eating only healthy foods and approved foods.
Motherhood is one of those periods in a woman’s life when she gives up many once-loved foods. And rightly so, because there is nothing better for a mother than a healthy and happy baby!
