When breastfeeding a woman has to strictly monitor their diet, because the products that she uses, the quality of breast milk depends directly. The main thing in this matter is not to limit yourself in everything, but to choose products, trying to ensure as much as possible a balanced diet and the intake of vitamins.
The first week after childbirth is the most difficult in terms of nutrition. The mother's organism only gets used to a new role, and it is already necessary to adhere to a diet, since the reaction of the baby to many products is still unknown.
Eggs with breastfeeding
A fresh chicken egg, which is not more than seven days old, is considered a dietary product, a supplier of cheap protein, which is absorbed by the body by almost 97%. However, despite such a characteristic, the opinions of dieticians, whether it is possible to eat eggs for nursing mothers are divided:
- In the opinion of some doctors, chicken eggs are strictly forbidden for at least 6 months during lactation. And only after the child turns six months old, boiled eggs can be introduced into the diet of a nursing mother.
- Other opinion is held by doctors who consider chicken eggs a useful and necessary product in the women's diet during breastfeeding. Their recommendations boil down to the fact that eggs can be fed to the nursing mother, but not earlier than one month after the birth.
- Specialists in breastfeeding (GV) often advise breastfeeding mothers to eat eggs as early as the first week after childbirth, but in minimal quantities.
In an effort to find a specific answer to the question of whether it is possible to nurse eggs, young mothers study the Internet, but even here the recommendations are radically different from each other.
How can one understand whether it is worthwhile to introduce eggs to nursing mothers in their diet, and in what form? The answer is quite simple: you need to stick to common sense in everything, and the method of gradual addiction will be the most optimal solution. He concludes that at first, after the first week in the hospital, the mother can start eating boiled eggs during breastfeeding. But the first portion should consist of the third part of the yolk, and no more. In this case, be sure to observe the baby, and if there are no allergic reactions or digestive disorders, after a few days, eat half the yolk. With this approach to nutrition, can you doubt that eggs nursing mother and her baby are unlikely to harm. The average rate for a woman with GV is 1-2 boiled eggs per week.
Quail eggs for nursing mothers
Do not forget about such a wonderful dietary and healthy product, like quail eggs. They contain a large amount of vitamin A, B1, B2 and B12, in addition, they are more easily absorbed by the body than chicken eggs. You can consume quail eggs with breastfeeding, and even need to. But you need to start with a minimum of 1 egg per serving. The first time, quail eggs are better to boil for a minute and only after that use, and after a month you can try them raw. By the way, it is noticed that the quail is the only birds whose eggs we consume, not subject to avian flu.
