What is at the New Year's table for a nursing mother

Overall diet nursing mom long been recognized as a myth. Many refuse it, because scientists have proven that mother's nutrition practically does not affect either the fat content of milk, or the condition of the child who drinks it. And yet this does not mean that a nursing mother should eat everything without thinking about her own health. It is important here not to rush to extremes and adhere to the principle of a healthy diet.

If you give up everything tasty at the festive table and choke on oatmeal in the water and chicken breast - then, rather, you will gain neurosis and loss of strength, which will definitely not have a normal effect on your condition and health child. And if you "go on" in all seriousness, then you run the risk of earning not only extra pounds, but also poisoning with food or alcohol, and for the mother of a small child this is extremely undesirable.

No one can forbid you to drink a glass of champagne (and the child will not sleep harder from this, as grandparents like to joke). But first of all, you must think about the safety of the baby and be in the most sober mind in order to come to his aid in any situation.

But if you still want to follow a diet at the New Year's table during breastfeeding, then here is a rough list of allowed foods from which you can find what you like.

Salads

Vinaigrette with vegetable oil;

"Greek salad": bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese, dressed with olive oil;
