Ice cream is a favorite sweet for many. But what if you now have a baby? Should you deny yourself your favorite treat?
The negative consequences of consuming ice cream
Structure
Unfortunately, manufacturers often sin with the composition of ice cream that is far from ideal. That is why it contains thickeners, stabilizers and preservatives that can become allergens for a newborn. Try to study the composition before buying. Better yet, try making it yourself.Low-quality protein
The ice cream most often contains low-quality protein, which becomes the cause for allergies in the baby or has a bad effect on his digestion.
Calorie content
Ice cream is a fairly satisfying and high-calorie product. Try to limit yourself to one horn per week. Otherwise, you will have to seriously think about how to go on a more strict diet for a nursing mother.
How to consume it correctly?
"No" to chocolate
Avoid chocolate ice cream while breastfeeding. The fact is that it can provoke a strong allergy in a baby. And you will be lost in conjectures: this is because of the protein, which we wrote about above, or because of the chocolate.
"No" additives
Try to choose the simplest ice cream in composition. Don't buy frozen juice as it is mostly made up of sugar, stabilizers, and colors. Also skip ice cream with jams and fillings.
Monitor your child closely
Study your baby's reaction to the introduction of ice cream into your diet. If he begins to have colic, then be sure to remove the ice cream from the diet. If there is no negative reaction in the child, start slowly introducing the product into your diet.
