How will you relate to the problems of the child for the first time months of life, from this in the future depends on his fate.
The main problem in this period is proper feeding. "How to eat?" - the question immediately arises. Very simple answer - "As during pregnancy." After all, the nutrition of a nursing woman is no different from her usual diet. The diet should be varied, contain a lot of nutrients.
Only there is one thing, but if one of the parents in the family has an allergy, then the child may be predisposed to it. And it will manifest as a diathesis in the baby. Allergy, which is manifested in infants, can cause any product that the nursing mother used. In recent years, the growing number of children who have a manifestation of food allergies in breastfeeding.
When you are allergic to a child, the nursing mother needs to eat right and remember that all the citrus fruits: lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, you can add sea buckthorn, raspberries, strawberries - these are the fruits that can cause diathesis in baby. You should also be cautious about dairy products and beef, eggs, beans. Avoid eating food with preservatives, flavors, dyes.
Sometimes there are such situations that you really want to try the forbidden product, do not force yourself to suffer, do not refuse at all, but take and try. Eat a small piece and see what kind of reaction it will be. If everything is fine, the next day you can eat another half. That's a little - just try for two weeks. If during this time the reaction did not follow, then it will not follow. Do not limit yourself, but remember that you can not overeat this product.
It can be said that feeding a nursing woman for allergies in a child is different from her usual diet. It must be such that it can not harm its dear little man. The first weeks and months in the diet of a nursing woman with allergies in a child, there should be no cow's milk, poultry meat, pork, fish, eggs, citrus fruits and much more. This list depends on how the baby reacts to a particular product.
If a child has diathesis, mom should immediately analyze what she used the last three days. It should be noted that this product should not have been part of your diet before or was very rare.
Signs of allergy in breastfeeding, except for all known reddening and rashes on the skin, can also be a frequent liquid stool of green color, a strong cry ten minutes after feeding, a child's anxiety, seborrheic crusts on the head, even with good care of the baby the appearance of diaper rash. When these symptoms appear in the baby, it is necessary for the mother to go on a diet. In addition, it is necessary to try to determine the product that causes such a reaction in the child.
It should take two months for the above products to be introduced into the woman's diet. At this time, it is necessary to observe the baby. If the child has reddened cheeks, swelling will appear, on the knees and elbows the skin will become dry, which means that the food product causes allergy and its use should be postponed for one month. A month has passed and after that you can try to enter it again in your mom's diet. Begin with a very small amount, and gradually increase this amount, while carefully watching the child. At the first detection of allergy symptoms, you should again stop using this product for food, until the next try in a month.
It should be remembered that a lactating woman should not exclude from her food a product that causes an allergy for a child for a very long time.
There is an opinion that with the introduction of allergens into the baby's body through breast milk, though in small amounts, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of allergies in the future. After all, only with the help of mother's milk the baby has the opportunity to gradually get used to the products, which at the moment his body is reluctant to accept. It should be remembered, a child who is susceptible to allergies should not be weaned until he tries every product that he will consume on his own. After all, first all the nutrients in the body of the baby get along with breast milk, and only then it will start eating like an adult.
This helps the child to adapt more to the use of new food and does not give rise to negative reactions. Breast milk helps the child to get used to those substances that cause him diathesis. It is necessary to remember that only from the duration of the infant's use of mother's milk, the further reaction of the organism to the use of this or that product depends. Summarizing, we can say that the longer your child will be fed breast milk, the less he has the risk of acquiring an allergy or diathesis.
Of course, sometimes there is such a situation that the child needs to be transferred to artificial feeding. In this case, it must be remembered that the baby can not be transferred to a mixture made on the basis of cow's milk. It is advisable to use special medicinal products.
If the baby's organism reacts inadequately to a particular product, that is, the child is allergic, from its mother depends largely on its future fate. After all, only she, the first days of her baby's life, with breast milk passes him all the nutrients. And only she has to be very careful about her nutrition. It can be worth a lot of effort, but in the future, if she sees that the child has outgrown her allergy and only, thanks to her, there will be no limit to her joy. After all, she was able to endure all the inconveniences that had to be borne in order for the child to be healthy and happy.
