As a breastfeeding mom, you should avoid these 3 foods, for the sake of your baby.
1. Citrus Fruits:
Juicy, tangy and incredibly tasty is how you would describe most
citrus fruits. Citrus fruits are some of the most popular fruits, and
they form a major part of your fruit basket. However, as a lactating
mom, you need to avoid citrus fruits and their juices at all costs.
Citrus fruits include fruits like lime, kiwi fruits, strawberries,
pineapples, oranges, and grapes. Many-a-time, citrus fruits lend a
pungent flavor to your chest milk. Some babies might object to the taste
of it, and get fussy while consuming it. Other babies may vomit.
Sometimes, your baby may also develop diaper rashes as a result of the
citrus content in chest milk. Citrus fruits contain many acidic
compounds and can lead to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract (GI)
in children.
2. Cherries And Prunes:
Apart from citrus fruits, make sure you don’t consume any cherries,
prunes or berries. Cherries may sometimes create gas problems for your
little one. Moreover, it is quite common for newborn babies to suffer
from gas due to their newly developing digestive system.
3. Caffeine And Chocolate:
Apart from the varieties of foods we mention above, make sure that
you avoid caffeine, chocolates, eggs, soy and fish. These foods can lead
to gastrointestinal problems and may also trigger allergies in your
little angel.
