The only nutrition of the newborn is breast milk. This is how the human body works, that it cannot perceive other products (except for adapted mixtures) in the first months of life. Naturally, nursing mothers should take care to preserve lactation, which will allow the baby to get good nutrition. Well, this is a whole topic of conversation. After all, what should be the food after giving birth, many of our mothers and grandmothers know. And not only know, but also with pleasure give wise advice. What to believe, and what not to pay attention to? We will try to understand our article.

Preparing for childbirth

Doctors have long learned to calculate the expected date of birth. When 2-3 weeks are left before the baby arrives, start gradually changing the diet. Reduce as much as possible the intake of dairy products, all kinds of nuts, sweets (especially baking and chocolate). Discard red fish, shrimp, smoked meats, coffee and cocoa, strawberries and raspberries.

A diathesis may appear suddenly in a newborn baby, even if you ate well during lactation. The fact is that allergens accumulate in the body gradually, and provoking the appearance of the rash is easier than ever. Pay attention to those products that cause allergies in other family members, do not forget about heredity.

How to eat right after childbirth

No need to limit yourself to eating sharply and drink too much liquid. The first 2-3 days the process of adjustment of lactation. If you drink more than 1 liter, you may experience problems with excessive rushes of milk, which is fraught with unpleasant painful sensations. Liquid is used as needed when there is desire.

A lot of questions related to how to improve nutrition after childbirth. The first days are advised to refrain from eating meat and baking. Include in the diet porridge on the water, baked apples, 1 boiled egg, biscuit. You can eat soups. The fact is that the first bowel movement after childbirth occurs only on the 4th day after the cleansing enema. The use of coarse and heavy food will aggravate the process of defecation.

Feeding women after childbirth should be supplemented with light products and in the event that there are seams on the perineum. After 7-10 days, the diet can be replenished with dishes of boiled or baked meat, eat dairy products (no more than 300 g per day), hard cheeses, fish and stewed vegetables.

What to remove from the diet?

To limit food (the first month after childbirth), you can exclude raw vegetables, exotic fruits and citrus fruits (high risk of allergies), watermelons, melons, legumes, smoked meats and canned vegetables.

Forget about convenience foods and fast food. You should not cook dishes from cabbage, especially if your mother increases gas production in the intestines. The same feelings will be the baby.

Nursing mom should not be hungry!

Of course it is. Childbirth - the most serious physiological process, it is the most difficult work for an organism. Sleep and good nutrition of the mother after childbirth are the main components of a quick recuperation. But this does not mean that you need to eat all the time. Doctors have long proved that the woman's body is preparing for the appearance of the baby and for future lactation throughout the entire period of pregnancy. With hormonal changes, fat accumulates in the abdomen, thighs, forearms. It is from here that the “stock” is taken in milk production.

Roughly speaking, even with poor nutrition a woman can continue breast feeding. But here another problem arises, when for the formation of full-fledged milk useful substances are removed from my mother's body. Reserves are developed and not replenished. It is believed that the nutrition of the mother after birth should increase by 600-700 kcal due to the consumption of healthy foods. But overeating will lead to new fat deposits, which will only exacerbate postpartum depression. In the future, getting rid of excess weight will be even more difficult.

Carbohydrates + proteins + fats

These are the main components that must be present in the food of a healthy person.
Food for women after childbirth largely consists of carbohydrates, so they are located in the first place. Porridge, bread, pasta from durum flour will also be an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

The protein enters the body with lean meat, fish, and also dairy products. It is a source of zinc and iron, which is needed for normal lactation and nutrition of the baby.

Eating fat and eating fatty foods is not the same thing. Olive or sunflower oil will provide the body with all necessary. But from the fried meatballs, pies or French fries at the time you can refuse.

How to expand the diet?

Over time, the reserves of the female body are drying up, and you need to add new products. The baby gets used to different tastes and sensations, trying mother's milk. If your child is 3 months old, you can expand the menu by adding millet and pearl barley porridge, nuts (no more than 2 pieces per day), poultry meat, honey, jam and jams, juices, fresh vegetables and fruits.

The food of the mother after childbirth is supplemented gradually, but at the same time, they closely monitor how the baby’s body reacts to a new food for it. Try to eat a slice of fresh apple or tomato. The accumulation of substances in the milk occurs gradually, but if after 1-2 days the baby's cheeks remain clean, there is no rash, you can increase the amount of this product. You should not experiment if the child has a nose, an unstable chair. It is important to correctly create a menu when scheduled vaccination.

Until the infant is six months old, the mother gradually returns to the diet most of the foods she used to eat before pregnancy. If everything is done correctly, nutrition after childbirth will become as complete and will not cause any trouble to a nursing woman or baby.

How much to drink fluids?

Many nursing mothers have heard the advice that drinking a glass of hot tea before feeding improves milk flow. If it is difficult for the baby to suckle at the breast (due to the physiological characteristics of the structure of the mammary gland), then a warm drink really makes feeding easier.

However, the direct relationship between the amount of fluid consumed and breast milk   not. But doctors have long established that the thoughtless use of water or tea can lead to a decrease in lactation.

Does maternal nutrition include the obligatory use of tea with condensed milk? Any concentrated products can cause allergies in the baby. It is better to refuse to add whole milk. His pediatricians are advised to include in the diet of a nursing mother no earlier than six months after birth.

What amount of dairy products to eat?

One of the most common questions of those women who seek to preserve lactation. The main thing is to immediately understand that the nutrition of a nursing mother after birth can be supplemented with fermented milk products only when a woman loves and eats them with pleasure. What is the use of choking curd mass, if from childhood this product is hated.

Moreover, the composition of breast milk will not change if kefirs, yoghurt and cheeses are completely excluded. By the way, the body of many women does not perceive such products at all, there are problems with digestion, bloating appears. AND children's body   may respond in the same way. So there will be more problems than good. If the mother tolerates dairy products normally, then at least three different types of food are advised per day. In this case, the body will receive a sufficient amount of vitamin D and calcium, which are indispensable for the restoration and formation of bone tissue.

Vegetable menu

Nutrition after delivery should include a variety of products. It is believed that vegetables and fruits of bright colors (red, yellow, orange) cause allergies in the baby. However, the gifts of the fields and gardens are a source of minerals, phytonutrients and vitamins. To do without them is impossible.

Often, an allergy to a particular product occurs in one of the parents. Absolutely refuse vegetables and fruits is not necessary. But it is worth adding them to the diet gradually, carefully watching how they react baby chest. When the child is 6 months old, doctors advise nursing mothers to eat at least 5 different fruits and vegetables every day.

Special nutrition

A lot of controversy is the commitment to vegetarianism or the use of low-calorie foods. Conscious rejection of meat and animal products is not always a whim. Far from all can go for another food. In order for the nutrition of the nursing mother after the birth to be complete, be sure to visit the doctor who prescribes a complex of vitamins and minerals. It must be taken throughout the lactation period.

What to eat after cesarean section

Differences only in the first couple of days. After the operation, the pregnant women are transported to the intensive care unit, where they carefully care for and place droppers. In blood with drugs   get nutrients, and the need to use something in addition disappears. You can drink mineral water without gas.

Full nutrition after childbirth begins on the second day. You can eat mashed potatoes, porridge, boiled in water, or low-fat broth. On the third day, boiled lean meat and fish are included in the diet. In the future, food should be fractional, not more than 100 g per meal, at least 5 times a day.

These foods are allowed to be consumed in moderation. For example, in the third month after birth, doctors even recommend carefully introducing them into your diet.

A woman should be attentive to the amount of fluid she drinks during the day. It is used in the process of lactation. With its lack of milk may be too viscous, so the woman feels discomfort in the chest.

You can drink any tea. A positive effect on the body has a decoction of oregano and thyme. With their help, you can also remove the nervous tension, which is characteristic of a woman in the first months after the birth of the baby.

  During breastfeeding, a woman should eat right and not overeat

The main features of the diet for nursing mothers

• The fight against overweight can begin only when the baby is four months old. Restriction in nutrition should be moderate, since during this period the woman continues breastfeeding.
• Doctors recommend not to eat sweet pastries and chocolate. If they are completely abandoned, then the woman gradually restores her former form on her own.
• Meals should be as in the first month after birth. To improve the result, you can proceed to the execution exercise. The body should not be very tired. Nutritionists say that the mother's body is preparing for the birth of 9 months, and he will need the same period to restore his former form. At this time, hormones are also changing.

What you need to know about nutrition

• Breastfeeding suggests that a woman should eat twice as much. It is not, but sounds like an excuse for excessive appetite. Within one day, a woman should eat five times in small portions. The diet increases by only 500 kcal than it was before pregnancy.
• You can increase the volume of milk if you drink 0.5 liters of liquid before feeding. Any water is absorbed within 15 minutes, therefore, contributes to the flow of milk. However, such a large volume cannot have a positive effect on the functioning of the bladder and kidneys.
• Diathesis in a child is manifested due to improper feeding of the mother. Baby's skin is tender, so it can react to cream and powders. Therefore, the appearance of red spots depends not only on the balance of nutrition, but also on the presence of external stimuli.
• When feeding a child in the diet of a woman, meat must be present, so vegetarianism is best forgotten. Protein is found in many foods — cereals, oils, nuts, raisins, pumpkins, and others. If necessary, you can additionally drink multivitamins.

If a nursing mother follows these simple guidelines, she can quickly recover herself and the baby will develop properly.

  - vital first of all for her child. Their connection is not lost and the mother with the child simultaneously receives all the useful and harmful substances from the products.

Therefore, when developing a diet, it is necessary to proceed from the needs of an adult organism of a nursing mother, and of an organism that is still not adapted to this world. Therefore, the nutrition of women after childbirth should take place under the slogan: "Do no harm".

In contact with

The first questions that confront a nursing mother relate to food frequency and quantity of food.

A nursing woman should eat more often than not. It has been estimated by physicians that it is necessary to produce enough 800 additional calories.

In this case, the woman has fat storeswhich she typed in time. And they give about a day 300 kilocalories.

Rest 500 kcal per day is necessary to provide nutrition mom. She needs calories for her own active life.

In general, the day most nursing women need about 2700 kilocalories. If a woman is malnourished, or, even worse, for the sake of the beauty of the figure, she will go on a diet, the amount of milk will sharply decrease.

Besides, unbalanced nutrition will affect the health of the mother. She will increase fatigue, increase, and simply will not have enough strength to care for the child.

Do not go to the other extreme. Some moms   guided by another principle, they say, the body itself knows very well what it needs, and fit on whatever you want.

The result can be disastrous - the child will develop allergies   and have a long and painstaking search for a product dangerous for him by the method of experiments on the crumbs.

Therefore, the main thing   - not the amount of food eaten by a nursing mother, but its quality, that is, its utility.

The food diary will be a good helper for responsible moms., in which you need to carefully record absolutely all the foods eaten and products, the time of consumption and the reaction to them of the child.

Thus, it is possible to identify a child’s food allergy or possible disorders in time.

Concerning better if a woman eats simple dishes   or even prefer a mono-diet, when only one product is eaten in one meal or snack.

Meals in the first days after birth

In the first days immediately after birth   requires a very careful diet. The child has not yet strengthened the digestive system, so it is imperative what the mother eats. This will be the basis for the further development of the child.

The desired diet of the first three days   looks like this:

• chicken broth (preferably secondary) with crackers or dried bran bread;
• buckwheat porridge with vegetable oil;
• a small piece of well-boiled beef (not steamy);
• 50 grams of durum cheese;
• galetny cookies;
• infusion, with sugar.

By the fifth day after birth   There should already be enough milk to feed the baby fully and the mother’s nutrition should be gradually enriched. Introduced new products.

But first nursing mom needs to revise products   and clearly highlight the ones she accurately will not use.

Strong tea, smoked meats, too salty and fried dishes should get into this basket,. Also under a strict ban get alcoholic beverages, including.

Foods chosen to feed a nursing mother should be as natural and healthy as possible, do not contain nitrates, artificial colors or preservatives.

Desirable   adhere to the principles of separate nutrition, that is, do not mix the consumption of carbohydrates with proteins.

However, there are cases that the baby has little milk. This is especially true when two children were born. Then with the help of nutrition you can increase the amount of milk produced.

First of all mom need to prefer protein foods. In the daily ration, there must be at least 200 grams of meat or fish, 50 grams of hard cheese and 150-200 grams of cottage cheese.

To increase lactation you need to drink more fluid. It should be milk, kefir, juices, tea, soup, plus a day and a half liter of non-carbonated water.

Helpful   drink a glass of warm drink (tea or milk) 30 minutes before breastfeeding. In this case, it is worth refusing the “grandmother’s method” - adding condensed milk to tea. There is no use for such drinks, but there are extra calories for mom.

Not worth it   Nursing mother has a lot of vegetables and fruits. They can increase the intestinal motility of the child, he will have a stomachache. Some fruits, even through breast milk, can cause allergies.

Also worth refusing   from seafood, preservation, various smoked meats, hot spices and seasonings. Spices, including salt, in the female body retain water. This can worsen lactation.

Often it so happens that in the first days after birth the mother has no appetite   and she is worried if the baby has enough milk. Modern medicine believes that in such a situation it is not worthwhile to self-indulge and it is enough to eat exactly as much as you want.

Proper nutrition after childbirth (diet)

By the middle of the first month after delivery   a woman's body returns to normal and an appetite.

Diet   nursing mothers should be diverse, but careful - products should be introduced gradually with careful monitoring of the baby's reaction.

• one egg, meat (beef and poultry) and fish (not fatty varieties) - not less than 100 grams;
• milk and dairy products (up to 1 l), cottage cheese (100 g), a little sour cream, butter (50 g) and vegetable oil (15-30 g),
• vegetables (600 g) and fruits (300-500 g), honey.

What kind dishes   may be included in the full diet of a nursing woman:

1. Any porridge cooked in water. Best of all is oatmeal. If the child has constipation, rice should be excluded.
2. Soups without the use of cabbage.
3. Boiled, stewed or baked meat and fish (for breakfast or lunch), as well as vegetables other than cabbage, peas, cucumbers and radishes. Boiled beets and carrots should be grated and seasoned with vegetable oil. This is the best prevention from mom. Potatoes only boiled. Steamed cutlets.

Immediately after the birth of the child, which in itself is enormous for the female body , a young mother usually loses from 5 to 6 kg. But still it is not enough for the return of former forms. Indeed, in the process of carrying a child, several more kilograms of excess fat accumulate, providing energy to the body during the process of delivery, as well as during subsequent breastfeeding.

Therefore, nutrition after childbirth is very an important point for every new mother. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the fact that one of the most important tasks of a woman after childbirth is the establishment of breastfeeding and ensuring the maximum proper nutrition for the baby. In the first days after birth, in no case should not even sit on a loose   to lose weight or limit yourself in the amount of food eaten. Provided that the woman breastfeeds the baby, such restrictions are possible only two months after the birth. In this case, they must be introduced gradually.

Meals in the first month after birth

If a woman consciously refers to the process of breastfeeding her baby, then she is well aware that the nutrition of the mother after birth should be especially thoughtful and correct. After all, all the food that a mother consumes directly affects the quality of her milk, and, therefore, the nutrition of the baby.

The most responsible attitude to nutrition should be in the first month after the appearance of the newborn. The diet of a young mother should not include various food allergens, which are baked pastries, milk, chocolate, etc. You should not eat unprocessed fruits and vegetables on the most important days for a child. Intelligibility in the food of the mother will help to establish proper nutrition of the child after birth and to establish the smooth operation of his gastrointestinal tract. In this case, the risk that the newborn will suffer from colic , gas accumulation   and others problems with the digestive tract .

There is a special, proven by many years of practice, the mother’s nutritional scheme after the birth of a child, providing an optimal diet for producing high-quality human milk. So, in the first days after giving birth, you should use sweetened tea, cranberry juice, as well as a decoction of some herbs as a drink (for these purposes you can use yarrow, nettle, dill, shepherd's bag). Women who have suffered a difficult birth and got tears are recommended to use about one liter of natural chicken broth every day. Thanks to the gluten, which is in the composition of such broth, wound healing occurs more actively.

Already on the fourth day after the appearance of a newborn, a mother can eat various porridges boiled in water. It is advisable to use oatmeal, wheat, buckwheat, millet porridge. You can also cook vegetable soup, steam fresh vegetables, bake apples. It should not be in the first days after birth to eat cabbage and potatoes, because cabbage provokes bloating, and the potato contains a lot of starch. These days there is an active production of milk, so a woman should for some time limit fluid intake to 1 l per day.

Later, seven days after giving birth, the amount of fluid should again be increased, consuming about two liters of drinks each day. Gradually, the diet of the first month after birth becomes more diverse. A woman can alternate the use of lean fish, beef, eat cheese, nuts several times a week. In the last days of the first month of a child’s life, a mother can introduce eggs, chicken, fruit, and beans into the diet. A further diet can be formed without special restrictions.

Strict postpartum diet

In one way or another, all women follow the postpartum diet. However, a more strict approach to nutrition should be in those mothers whose babies have certain unpleasant manifestations due to the reaction to the mother's milk. So, a child can get a tummy manifest diathesis , excitation nervous system . Also, some products can have a bad effect on the taste of breast milk, thereby, reducing the appetite of the child.

Proper nutrition after childbirth provides in some cases the complete exclusion of foods that cause allergic reactions   in a newborn baby. Such undesirable products for the child are honey, fatty meat broth, coffee, chocolate, strawberries, citrus fruits, pickles, canned goods, smoked meats. The baby can negatively perceive the sausage and mothers use eggs too often. In the presence of an allergic reaction in a baby, such a rejection of products is advisable for some time, but not less than half a year.

Very carefully you should try to eat dishes from cabbage, liver, carbonated drinks, dishes from legumes. It is best to give up baking and white bread completely.

A strict postpartum diet, which is recommended to be followed by mothers of children prone to allergic reactions, provides a fairly wide range of different products. First of all, it is oatmeal, soups from vegetables without cabbage, beets and other stewed and boiled vegetables, fish and meat are necessarily low-fat varieties. Also allowed the use of vegetable oil, seaweed. All these products will not cause a negative reaction in the child.

You should be very careful when introducing raw fruits and vegetables into the diet. It is advisable to start this process with onions and beets. It is important only to closely monitor the child's reaction to the use of a certain product by the mother and to individually approach the formation of their own diet. In order not to provoke serious allergic reactions in a child, a mother should try not to introduce more than one product into her own diet every day and do it slowly and gradually.

Meals in the first half after childbirth

Proper nutrition after childbirth involves providing such a diet for a nursing mother, in which her milk will be the most nutritious and complete.

A woman who has recently given birth to a child should not eat food rarely: the best option is to eat five times a day, and the portions should not be very large.

Every day, a certain food intake should be supplemented with a range of foods that will provide the necessary variety in nutrition. These are kefir or sour milk, cottage cheese and curd products, vegetables, meat, eggs, fruits, vegetable oil, bread. Products must be intelligently combined. According to the recommendations of the experts, about 100 grams should be present daily in the diet of a woman after giving birth squirrel , 100g fat about 500 grams carbohydrate . It is important that the food contains enough phosphorus , calcium , of vitamins .

To eat beef, chicken or turkey, a woman should every day, since it is meat that provides the body with iron and animal protein. Meat should be boiled or stewed. When choosing a fish that is not only a source of protein, but also essential fatty acids for a woman's body, it is better to stop at pike perch, cod, heke and other low-fat varieties. Fish can be cooked and baked in the oven. But with young seafood young mother must be very careful, as they often provoke an allergic reaction.

Among dairy products, it is optimal to prefer ryazhenka, kefir, yogurt. Unlike milk, such products are much better absorbed and at the same time they have a positive effect on the intestinal microflora. And to ensure the body of a woman so necessary for her calcium   the best is to eat cottage cheese: at least 100 g every day. However, it is advisable to abandon the glazed sweet curds.

The use of vegetables has a positive effect on the intestinal functions of a woman, as they contain vegetable fibers and a wide variety of vitamins. You can eat vegetables and raw, and cooked. For a young mother, beets, pumpkins, zucchini, carrots are best suited. From fruit, it is preferable to choose bananas, green apples, pears. Dried fruits are very useful, which not only replace sweets, but also have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract functions. Of the bakery products is most suitable for the menu of nursing mother rye bread and cereal bread.

In some cases, the doctor may advise the woman to take multivitamins . To avoid constipation, it is important to adhere to the proper drinking regimen: consuming at least two liters of liquid daily. Some time after giving birth, the young mother can gradually begin to drink milk. However, you should pay attention to the fact that too much milk can cause sensitization of the child's body to cow's milk protein.

In order for the baby to feed without disturbances, it is equally important to adhere to the correct daily regimen. Should try to ensure normal healthy sleep   for a nursing mother: she should rest at least eight to nine hours a day. Without a doubt, and alcoholic beverages, and tobacco smoking when feeding a baby are strictly contraindicated.

Experts are unanimous that a nursing mother should not feel hungry. Therefore, some doctors advise women to eat with the baby, who eats about once every 3-4 hours. While feeding a child, you can eat cheese, kefir, a piece of bread or boiled vegetables.

To avoid a long cooking process, a young mother can use frozen vegetables to make a stew or soup. It is important that the products are always at hand, and the preparation of food takes a little time, because otherwise a woman risks skipping meals due to strong employment.

Every woman should take into account their own reactions to certain products. If ever she was allergic to a particular dish or product, then it should definitely be excluded from the postpartum diet.

How to eat to lose weight after giving birth

During the period of carrying a child extra pounds appear in the lion's share of women. And the return of the old forms, as a rule, is given to a young mother not without difficulty. To make the process of getting back into shape after birth minimally difficult, care should be taken of the future during of pregnancy . The main thing - do not overeat in the period of carrying a child, try to include only healthy foods in the diet and do not lean on the sweet and fatty. Then after the birth of the baby, a few extra pounds will disappear in the months of breastfeeding.

Due to the very significant hormonal adjustment in the postpartum period, diets are strictly forbidden to both nursing mothers and women who for some reason do not breastfeed babies. The restrictions can be addressed no earlier than two or three months after delivery.

In the meantime, the postnatal diet in the first months should be organized so that the situation does not worsen even more, and at the same time the baby gets good nutrition.

In the first weeks after giving birth, a young mother spends much more energy on daily activities and caring for a newborn. Therefore, about 500 additional calories are enough to cover these expenses. In order for a nursing woman to produce normal production of breast milk, an additional 800 kilocalories is needed every day. Approximately 300 calories are consumed for this purpose from the fat that has accumulated during pregnancy. Another 500 extra calories should contain everyday food intake. Thus, the daily caloric intake of food in these days should be no more than 3000 calories. If the number of calories in the daily menu is much lower, then lactation problems may occur. If the rate is exceeded, it is fraught with the appearance .

However, it is important to take care of a balanced diet and to exclude from the diet very high-calorie food. Such products include duck and goose meat, sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, sweets, potatoes, rice.

Despite the statement that a nursing mother should not be hungry, constantly chewing something also should not be. It is better to eat in a strictly allotted time, and in the process of breastfeeding you can make a light snack. In the late evening it is best to eat fruit and a glass of milk or kefir.

There is an opinion that weight loss after childbirth will contribute to the separation of food. This type of food provides that in one meal, those foods that contain proteins and carbohydrates, proteins and fats, etc. are not combined. If you correctly approach the preparation of the diet, then this method of nutrition does not harm the baby.

It is equally important to ensure at least minimal physical exercisewhich should not be too tedious for a young mother. Over time, their intensity will increase.

Thinking through the diet, a woman who has recently given birth to a child should be aware that in this case there can be no talk of losing too much weight. Only a smooth and competent approach to the issue of postpartum nutrition will provide stable results.

Strict diets to combat excess weight, doctors strongly recommend using a woman no earlier than her child turns nine months. However, in this case, a more effective method will be proper nutrition for later life.
