Alarms and doubts about pregnancy were left behind, and now the young mother has relative freedom. You can sleep on your stomach, without worrying about not to harm the baby, you can download the press and much more. But in terms of nutrition, the restrictions remain, their list even extends somewhat, of course, if the mother breast-feeds the baby.
The baby’s body is not at all adapted to our food, its main (only) food is breast milk. Therefore, the baby’s condition directly depends on the taste of mother’s milk, and he, in turn, depends on what the woman eats. Many women cannot even imagine that the smoked sausage eaten for dinner will cause the heartbreaking cries of the baby and, as a result, sleepless night. In this regard, newly mummies should carefully analyze their nutrition, and exclude potentially dangerous foods from the diet.
If some mothers do not consider this a problem at all, then others go to extremes and limit themselves even in those products that will not harm the baby. How to find a middle ground? Take into account the recommendations of pediatricians, if possible, eliminate potential allergens, keep a nutrition diary and follow the rule of moderation.
Many mothers, knowing about the magical properties of walnuts, daily include it in their diet. Is it possible to use walnuts when breastfeeding? Let's try to figure it out.
It is known that walnuts contain a huge amount of useful elements, in terms of the content of vitamin C walnut overtakes even citrus fruits and black currants. Their nuclei are rich in magnesium, and it has a diuretic and vasodilating effect; potassium in large quantities is able to expel sodium from the body. Eating walnuts strengthens the heart and boosts immunity. Based on the foregoing, it can be assumed that walnuts are a desirable product when breastfeeding.
Walnuts themselves are very nutritious, this is important. In order for milk to contain a sufficient amount of nutrients that develop the baby’s immune system, first of all, the woman herself must absorb healthy food. The advantages of walnuts include the fact that they protect against radiation and improve memory. From what has been said, the following follows: walnuts are useful for breastfeeding .
Walnut helps in the fight against mastopathy, a very unpleasant diagnosis for any woman. In addition, it is an indispensable product for people with a poorly functioning stomach who have a predisposition to constipation. It is believed that walnuts are an excellent way to relieve fatigue, to remove toxins, and to combat depressive states. What can I say, even skeptics will perhaps come to the conclusion that walnuts when breastfeeding, and with a different “diagnosis”, are a real blessing.
Well, the most important thing for a young mother who is breastfeeding her baby is the widespread opinion (which has been around for decades) that walnuts stimulate milk production. There are a huge number of recipes with their use, which are aimed at enhancing lactation. However, experts say that nuts really affect milk, but do not increase the quantity, but its fat content, which, in general, is also useful. Agree, this is also an argument in favor of walnuts. In other words, walnuts in breastfeeding are permissible and desirable.
However, one can not ignore that nuts are recognized as a potential allergen, occupy the third position in the allergen rating. Therefore, you can use them, but no more than 2-3 pieces per day. I must say that peanut butter and pasta should also be careful with a nursing mother. Thus, peanuts during breastfeeding are appropriate only in moderation.
