1
After childbirth and while breastfeeding, you should not go on a strict diet. After all, it is necessary for the mother to receive all the substances she needs. For example, proteins are crucial. For example, cell membranes are built from them. Animal proteins are found in beef, chicken, pork and others, and vegetable proteins - in cereals: buckwheat, oatmeal.
2
Carbohydrates - this is the energy necessary for digestion, respiration and other body processes. But not all carbohydrates are useful for the baby - some of them can cause increased gas formation, such as cabbage.
3
Fats, too, must be obtained, because they form hormones necessary for the regulation of the entire body. If you took vitamins before birth, then it's time to continue the course - the baby needs vitamins and minerals.
4
It is better to limit the use of allergenic foods. The following foods in most cases cause crumbs allergies: honey, nuts, red vegetables and fruits, citrus fruits, milk and dairy products, eggs, strawberries and chocolate.
5
If your baby was born using cesarean section, then the first days it is better not to go to the toilet "in a big way" - straining can cause seams to diverge. Fruits and vegetables, cereals and bread should be excluded from your diet because of the fiber content that forms the food lump. Return to your usual diet only after a couple of days.

A freshly baked mom at the first time after childbirth should drink no more than one and a half liters of water per day. Has milk come? Then reduce fluid intake to about a liter. Otherwise, swelling of the mammary glands is possible.
7
It also costs 7-8 days after the birth of a child to keep a diet diary. If the mother is trying a new product, then let her diary write down the baby’s reaction to this product - is there a rash or, say, redness on the skin? If there are changes, then do not use this product yet - wait a few months.
