Ryazhenka while breastfeeding
Having given birth to the first baby, a young mother inevitably faces many questions. One of them is nutrition, because those foods that were consumed before childbirth are now strictly prohibited. This article discusses such a useful fermented milk drink as fermented baked milk, analyzes its useful qualities, features of use and reasons for exclusion from the diet.
Compound
Ryazhenka is a drink made from baked milk. As a rule, this product has high fat content, has a peculiar creamy taste. Ryazhenka can be drunk immediately after childbirth, as it contains beneficial bacteria that normalize the gastrointestinal tract of not only mothers, but also the baby.
Ryazhenka contains:
- vitamins A, C, E, PP, B (1 and 2);
- calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfur and phosphorus;
- iron.
It should be noted that the method of obtaining fermented baked milk excludes the possibility of the formation of alcohol. At the same time, products such as kefir and koumiss contain alcohol in small doses, which can provoke stool disorders in a baby. That is why they are not recommended for use in the first month of lactation. Ryazhenka is not affected at all.
The approximate calorie content of the product is 67 calories. They account for 2.8 g of protein, 4.2 g of carbohydrates and 4 g of fat.
Benefit and harm
Ryazhenka is recommended for the period of breastfeeding, primarily because this product is ideally absorbed by the bodies of mother and baby. Consider the unique beneficial properties of a fermented milk drink in more detail.
- The product copes well with the feeling of hunger, which is especially important for those women who want to quickly restore shape after childbirth.
- Ryazhenka normalizes the work of the stomach and intestines. It is no secret that many women after childbirth often suffer from constipation, which poisons an already exhausted body. With the start of taking fermented baked milk, these problems can be avoided.
- The drink promotes the flow of milk. Moms who have a reduced amount of milk will immediately notice a change.
- Ryazhenka has a pleasant, special taste, which will be a good alternative to boring kefir and milk.
- The use of at least one glass of the product per day will increase immunity, support a weakened body, and normalize the condition of nails, skin and hair.
But even with such seemingly undeniable advantages, the use of fermented baked milk has its contraindications.
- Obesity. If you have an innate ability to be overweight, it is better to replace fermented baked milk with kefir. Since the product is fatty, if it is consumed excessively, a couple of extra pounds can “run over”. However, in reasonable quantities (no more than one glass per day), you can drink the drink.
- Gastritis, ulcer. In the presence of such diseases, fermented baked milk should be excluded from the diet, since lactic acid bacteria will increase acidity, providing constant dull pain.
- Individual intolerance. If the baby and (or) mother cannot tolerate cow protein, the drink should be stopped immediately, as dangerous allergic reactions are possible.
- Binge eating. There are times when a nursing mother, annoyed by a forced diet, discovers a new permitted product, begins to use it in excessive quantities.It is not too dangerous, but it is quite capable of causing flatulence, grumbling in the stomach and diarrhea.
Product selection and proper storage
Not being able to cook on their own, many moms find it best to just walk to a nearby grocery store. However, it is important to remember that now you are responsible not only for your health, so the choice of products will have to be taken carefully. It is worth considering a few recommendations and rules that will help you find a quality product, while not harming the health of the crumbs.
- Having found the necessary drink, immediately check the expiration date. If it is a month or more, leave such a product on the store shelf, it is full of harmful additives. Real ryazhenka is stored for no more than seven days. Also, do not buy products whose expiration date is coming to an end, especially if they are on sale.
- Choose drinks packaged in cardboard or glass. In plastic bottles, fermented baked milk spoils faster.
- Do not buy a product that is warm to the touch. A non-working store refrigerator is a direct path to food poisoning. Also, the packaging itself should not be hard, swollen.
- Arriving home, pour the drink into a glass and examine it. A quality product has an even shade, there are no lumps in it. If a strange smell emanates from fermented baked milk, it is better not to risk it and not drink it.
Ryazhenka is stored exclusively in a refrigerator. Packed containers can be kept there for about a week, but an open bottle must be drunk on the first day.
Rules and features of use
Deciding to introduce a new product into the diet, do not rush. At first, it is recommended to take only one or two sips. Then you need to watch the newborn for a day.If negative reactions occur, the use should not be continued. The next attempt can be made in a month or later.
If the baby took the drink positively, no suspicious symptoms were noticed, it is allowed to gradually increase the dose. At first it can be 100 ml per day, then 200 ml. If you do not have problems with excess weight, it is not forbidden to consume about 400 ml per day. A larger amount can provoke bloating and diarrhea in the crumbs.
Ryazhenka can be used not only in its pure form, but also as a dressing for fruit salads.
However, before making such dishes, you should find out which fruits the child perceives positively. A great idea would be to make cocktails from berries and fruits mixed with fermented baked milk in a blender.
Doctors' recommendations
Most doctors are inclined to believe that ryazhenka is not only possible, but also necessary for women with HB. Unlike many products, it is allowed to use it in reasonable quantities in the first month after childbirth, focusing both on your feelings and on the well-being of the baby. It is necessary to limit or cancel the intake only if there are negative reactions or contraindications.
Doctors identify several rules that will make the reception the safest and most effective.
- Never drink a fermented milk product on an empty stomach. This can cause not only fermentation in the stomach, but also a temporary refusal of the crumbs from the breast.
- Do not drink ryazhenka during meals. It goes especially well with meat and fish dishes. The only snacks that you can afford are whole grain bread, cookies, peanuts.
- If you find negative reactions in a child, do not rush to postpone taking fermented baked milk until the end of feeding.Perhaps the baby simply did not take store supplements well. Try to prepare the product yourself at home and try again after a few weeks.
- Trying to lose weight, do not replace fermented baked milk with a full lunch or dinner. A weakened body, introduced into additional stress, will begin to build up a fatty layer even more actively.
Reviews
Mothers who have tried fermented baked milk while breastfeeding leave both positive and negative reviews about this product. Most women are inclined to believe that the use of fermented baked milk is quite justified. It helps to restore the body, increase immunity, suppress hunger. And you can drink it immediately after childbirth.
Some women share their impressions that fermented baked milk helped them restore their stools, while drugs, for obvious reasons, were banned. Some ladies did not follow the prescribed dosage and drank a couple of liters of the drink a day. According to them, this did not harm the baby in any way and did not bring negative consequences for their health.
Nevertheless, there are women to whom fermented baked milk brought additional trouble. For example, allergic reactions. No one knows how the female body after childbirth will react to a product that she could take in excess before pregnancy. In addition, the baby does not always positively perceive changes in the diet of his mother.
