Obtaining the status of young parents entails a great responsibility, which rests with the shoulders of not yet quite experienced mothers and fathers. There is nothing better than a situation when the baby is healthy and well fed. Breastfeeding is the best that a young mother can offer, because at the same time your baby not only gets everything that is most useful, but the possibility of close contact with you affects her peacefully. Of course, with this method of feeding, mother should adhere to some nutritional rules that will help to avoid unpleasant situations.
Let's look at the following question: "Can mommy have pomegranates when breastfeeding?" First of all, of course, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this fruit is not only tasty, but also extremely useful. Its composition is simply excellent. It contains vitamins of groups B, C, P, A. No less useful is the mineral complex, which includes calcium, iodine, magnesium. The presence of fructose and organic acids can also be noted. Perhaps many have heard that pomegranate is an excellent antioxidant. It increases appetite, and, moreover, the juice of this fruit helps well at high temperatures. Pretty impressive benefits, isn't it?
But is it possible to grenade with HS? Pediatricians, of course, recommend that you refrain from this fruit, as well as from some other products, during the first three months after the baby is born, since pomegranate contains red pigment, which can cause an allergic reaction.
When breastfeeding , pomegranate should be introduced into the diet gradually, starting with the minimum number of grains, and monitor the baby's reaction. Initially, GV consultants recommend diluting the juice from this fruit with a little water. Of course, in no case do not use a store-bought product - there are a lot of preservatives and dyes in it, which are simply disastrously harmful to your baby.
Preparing the juice yourself is not at all difficult, you just need to roll the cheesecloth into two additions and crush the grains with a spoon in small portions. If you have a small stupa, then use it. After you grind grain, what happened, you must pass through a strainer or gauze.
Do not forget that for the first time, you should try pomegranates
during breastfeeding in the morning, as, in fact, any new product. For convenience, it’s useful to
keep a food diary in which you will write down which product you ate and what reaction it provoked in your baby.
With special care, pomegranate should be administered during breastfeeding if this fruit caused an allergic reaction in someone from close relatives. Also, if a nursing mother has gastritis with increased acidity or pancreatitis, you should not risk it, because the pomegranate contains an impressive amount of acids, which not only can cause you unpleasant sensations, but also provoke colic and gas formation in the baby.
With great caution, it is worth using pomegranate for HS due to the content of tannins in it, which can cause constipation in a child. The most important thing that a nursing mother needs to observe is moderation when consuming both pomegranate seeds and juice.
