New Year's menu for a nursing mother. New Year's menu for a nursing mother of a newborn baby



When creating a special New Year's menu for a nursing mother, you must pay attention to the peculiarities in the choice of dishes and prepare recipes that are exclusively suitable for this situation. Then the mother will be able to enjoy a delicious holiday, and the baby will actively eat breast milk exclusively for its benefit and without any unpleasant side effects.

A nursing mother should have a special diet. First of all, no matter whether holidays are coming up or not, doctors strongly recommend giving up sweets, citrus fruits, seafood and legumes. Also included in the list of which New Year's dishes are not suitable for a nursing mother are all red vegetables and fruits, as well as honey. If a woman includes these products in her holiday menu, then they are likely to cause bloating, colic, and even allergic manifestations in the child.

Important! Also, the New Year's table for a nursing mother should exclude mayonnaise dishes and mushrooms. You should avoid vinegar, smoked meats, spicy foods and marinades.

How to properly adjust the menu

All these prohibitions are serious and should be treated accordingly. However, traditional and classic dishes can be adapted so that mommy enjoys the same Olivier, but without danger to the child.




Some changes will have to be made to the traditional recipe for Olivier salad, without which it is difficult to imagine the New Year's table in our country. Instead of boiled sausage, add dietary boiled meat to the composition, it can be beef, rabbit or chicken. Instead of peas and pickled cucumbers, use grated low-fat cheese. As a dressing, use low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt without additives.

Important! You can eat up to 250 grams of Olivier salad according to the revised recipe per day. A weekly portion of this salad should not exceed half a kilogram, and you need to start with a small portion of about 70 grams.

Another delicious and favorite salad on the New Year's table is vinaigrette. The composition contains vegetables and, in principle, they can be included in the mother’s diet in small quantities. However, you should completely avoid pickles and green peas (you can use fresh cabbage instead of these ingredients).

Can a New Year's table for a nursing woman include Mimosa salad on the menu? It seems to consist of simple ingredients, and each layer is coated with mayonnaise. It is clear that this recipe is definitely not suitable for a nursing woman. But if you replace canned fish with boiled lean fish, use quail eggs, and coat each layer with low-fat sour cream, then you can afford one serving of this salad on New Year’s Eve.

What to include on the menu

What New Year's recipes for nursing mothers can you pay attention to? Sandwiches with caviar are not suitable for the table, because this seafood can cause severe allergies in a child. You can make sandwiches with boiled beef or tongue.




Fried meat with spices is also not suitable for our special menu. As a hot dish for the New Year's table, you can bake fish, turkey, or chicken. Also, simply steaming these products is very welcome.
The holiday always ends with dessert, but a nursing woman will definitely have to give up cakes, sweets, and cookies. Replace it with fruits that are not citrus or red. You can eat a small portion of soufflé or a little sweet curd mass.

Important! Of course, it is best to avoid alcohol, even a small glass of champagne. For non-alcoholic drinks, cranberry juice or dried fruit compote are recommended. Weak tea and mineral water without gases are also allowed.

Light salad “Festive”

What you need for cooking: green apple, 200 grams of chicken or turkey fillet (boil with salt, but without spices), avocado, lettuce, lime juice and olive oil.
There are no difficulties in preparing it; chop and mix all the ingredients, season with lime juice and olive oil, and pre-salt everything to your own taste.

Chicken with apples

You can bake chicken while it's hot. To do this, rinse the carcass and rub it with salt and pepper. Place large slices of green apple inside. Place the bird in a baking bag and cook for an hour and a half at 180 degrees. 15 minutes before cooking, pierce the bag in several places to give the bird a light crispy crust. Serve boiled vegetables or puree as a side dish.

The dessert can be prepared from 200 grams of low-fat cottage cheese and two bananas. Blend in a blender, transfer to a beautiful dessert plate and garnish with fruit. Drinks can be prepared

Divorced from my husband five years ago. From the marriage there are two children aged 9 and 11 years. I’m tired of solving and carrying all the family problems on myself, and besides, my husband started going out. I left him, as they say, “with one knot”... All this time I was organizing a house from scratch, paying off three loans, raising children, it wasn’t easy. Thank God I was lucky and I changed my job and started earning more. Life began to get better, more or less. A year ago I met a man... And Oh God... This is the man I dreamed of. The complete opposite of my ex-husband. And care and attention. One thing... He is a single father... His wife left him and their child and went to his best friend. In principle, this situation did not frighten me and I thought, well, where are there two children and the third will not be a hindrance... But it turned out that everything was not so simple... I, like a wise woman, immediately began to look for an approach to the child, bought her toys, completely replaced them her wardrobe, the poor child didn’t even have decent things, everything was so washed out.... I bought her a bunch of beautiful rubber bands for the garden. I tried my best to please. The girl is 5 years old... The child is problematic, does not understand anything, in the kindergarten they complain about her that she does not obey, does not want to study... At home she does whatever she wants, does not respond to comments. She says that she understands and immediately does it again!!!
The mother does not participate in any way in raising the child, does not pay child support, citing the fact that she is paying off a joint loan... Oh well, God be with her...
We all lived together for a year... I thought that she would change and we would live happily... But nothing changed...
I was infuriated by her behavior and because of this I was constantly in a bad mood, so Alexei and I started arguing. I couldn’t tell him that his daughter infuriates me... I understand that he loves her more than life itself... I thought about breaking up, but I love him and he loves me very much... and he communicates well with my children, with my son goes to chess.... I don’t know what to do.. It seems to me that his daughter will never change and I will never be able to love her....

Hello. I’ve already created a topic here about neighbors’ dogs, how to keep them away. In the fall, in September, a neighbor’s dog killed our kitten, in the middle of the day, one might say, in front of the neighbor (the dog’s owner) and ours (my son and I saw it). We simply didn’t have time to do anything, how much does a 3 month old kitten need? At that time, I expressed a lot of things to my neighbors because of their dogs. They apologized, promised to look after them, but at the same time the phrase was said: hunting dogs (ordinary mongrels at the same time) will still attack cats, they called it happy (((
To be honest, I didn’t want to have any more cats, but in October, for my daughter’s birthday, they brought her a kitten as a gift.. There is a litter box at home and the cat goes there, but only for small ones, but for the most part she is used to going outside. They let her out and looked after her all the time. And then that week, the neighbor’s dog jumped over the snowdrifts into our yard and grabbed the cat right on the porch. At that time I was hanging out laundry to dry under the canopy, he didn’t see me, but I didn’t see/hear him right away either - he attacked without a sound. I jumped out at the cat’s squeal. I fought it off, while he slashed his teeth along the sleeve of my jacket and tore my sleeve. When I calmed and treated the cat a little and calmed down myself, I went to the neighbors and said I would complain. The weekend passed, they did not take any measures (the dog was running along the street and continues to run). Today I wrote a complaint to the local police officer, but I was struck by his words, saying that we cannot take any measures against the dog’s owner, there is no punishment or fine for this. Only if you go further and sue them for material and moral damage. But I don’t want to go to court over a cat and a torn sleeve. Are there really no laws so that the local police officer, relying on them, can somehow influence the owners of dogs who strangle cats while walking on their own and in other people’s yards? In general, I wrote a lot, just if you’re going to start a war with your neighbors, then rely on the laws... Maybe someone can tell me something...

Topic to chat. Do you think about your children’s skills? Will explain. A friend’s son is a couple of months younger than mine, and so she proudly sends me a video of her baby crawling across the floor like a worm. She happily writes that he is starting to crawl. But for me, it’s just fussing on the carpet))) Or he kicks his butt back, and she thinks that he gets on all fours. I'm just either too critical of my son or a realist. But until he specifically crawled at least 30 centimeters, I somehow didn’t say that he was starting to crawl. And if he sits with support on one arm, he is not sitting yet. Which camp will you join and why?

I got a job six months ago. The child is 3.5. He goes to the garden. I walked normally in the fall. I went out for the full day. And now I’ve been sitting at home for almost the entire month of February and half of March. I got a job based on an acquaintance, no one said anything to me about absences, but last time they already hinted that something needed to be resolved with sick leave. I found a nanny through an agency, but my mother panicked that there was no need for a nanny (my mother is also a commander), she herself meets him from the garden, but sick leave says we will sit in turns, 2 days she, three me. But often she either flies away somewhere, then she’s at the theater, or she doesn’t want to at all and everything is unreliable. And nothing good came of it. The nanny eventually found some other shift work and now cannot come on call, only on her weekends. Mom also teases me that I will give half of my salary to the nanny. I can't work normally. I don’t want to leave, because my husband now doesn’t earn enough for everything, I buy clothes for myself, for women’s necessities, plus I pay for vacation, I can save for a mortgage, we are saving. Mom realized that we just couldn’t save up for an apartment, she stopped reproaching us for buying an apartment, before this she constantly asked her husband what he was thinking about when he started a family. Although my husband considers himself a breadwinner, he doesn’t have enough for everything. And I don’t want to lose my job, experience, qualifications. It’s also very difficult mentally to sit with a child for 2 weeks. I feel better at work, but I can’t get there. Only goes to the garden for 5 days and again at home for 2 weeks. I'm constantly nervous. How can you work and watch your child at the same time? How do women do this?

Good afternoon, dear forum members. We need a collective mind, my brain is no longer working. Given: there is a small studio for preparing for the Unified State Exam and the Unified State Exam: Russian, English, Society and Mathematics. I am planning to expand - open a second one in another area, and change the name of both studios. The so-called rebranding. Now the name is AbvEGE. I want something interesting and to the point. My husband suggests “studio for preparing for the Unified State Exam last name first name.” I don't like it, it's too pretentious. The room is small, three classrooms and an admin desk, behind which I stand if there is no lesson. You can't call them courses. I would be grateful for advice: what can be called more interesting.

I would be grateful for any information)

The health and mood of a newborn baby depends on its nutrition, so nursing mothers are forced to strictly monitor their diet. To avoid allergies and colic in the baby, mothers limit the number of types of foods they eat and completely avoid multi-ingredient dishes, which usually include salads. However, salads include many useful components and help diversify your diet, get the necessary vitamins and microelements, fiber, plant and animal protein, and if you choose the ingredients for them wisely, then this dish will only benefit the nursing mother and her child.

General rules for preparing salads if you are breastfeeding

Salad for a nursing mother should be completely safe for the baby. You should first try all the ingredients chosen for the dish separately and determine how the baby reacts to them.

The main risk when including salad on the menu is that many new products will immediately “get into” breast milk.

For the first 1-2 months of a child’s life, a nursing mother can eat salads from products that have undergone preliminary heat treatment. In the following months, it is recommended to wash raw fruits and vegetables for salads and scald them with boiling water, and it is better to peel them, since they may contain chemical preservatives intended for long-term storage of the fruit. It is for this reason that it is good for a nursing mother to use fruits and vegetables from her own garden. Be sure to rinse lettuce and other greens thoroughly.


All fruit and vegetable products for salad should be peeled

Mayonnaise, ketchup, complex store-bought sauces, hot spices, and marinades are not suitable for dressing. Salad for a nursing mother should be seasoned with olive oil, low-fat sour cream, and natural yogurt. To add a spicy note, you can add a drop of mustard.


Salad dressings should be made with olive oil, yogurt or sour cream.

If your baby tolerates citrus fruits well, you can add a little lemon juice to the salad with vegetable oil. Recipes with sausages, smoked meats, hot or fatty sauces and spices, and canned vegetables are not suitable for nursing mothers.


Sausage in a salad for a nursing mother is unnecessary, replace it with boiled chicken breast

Boiled vegetables and lean meat, cheese and dairy products, greens and leafy salads will help a nursing woman diversify her menu, enrich her diet with vitamins and minerals, fiber and protein, will be beneficial during the establishment of lactation and restoration of the body after childbirth, and with gradual and careful introduction will not will harm the baby.

Allowed salads for the first and second months after childbirth

Salads can be included in the menu from the first days after childbirth, and pediatricians recommend that nursing mothers try new foods in the morning in order to track the baby’s reaction to them.

A salad, depending on its composition, can replace the main dish, become a side dish or dessert, decorating and diversifying the modest menu of a nursing woman.

During the first month of breastfeeding, in order to avoid adverse reactions in your baby, you can master simple one-ingredient salads. For example, a salad of boiled zucchini or carrots, green leaf lettuce. It’s better to start trying them with 2–3 tablespoons, gradually increasing the portion to 100–150 grams.

One-component vegetable or fruit salads:


Simple meat salad

Also, in the first two months, you can try making a simple salad from boiled meat, onions, eggs and hard cheese, having first found out whether the baby has an allergic reaction to each of the ingredients.


When preparing salads, you should give preference to lean meats

To prepare meat salad you need:

  1. Boil 200 g chicken breast or lean beef and 2 eggs.
  2. Cut a small onion into half rings and soak in water for 3 hours.
  3. Cut the meat and eggs into cubes, grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Cashews and almonds should be consumed with caution; these nuts can cause colic and an allergic reaction in the baby. But nursing mothers should not eat hazelnuts and peanuts until breastfeeding is completed - these are the strongest allergens! A woman can eat no more than 20 grams of nuts per day.

Salads with cottage cheese

If a nursing mother has introduced salads from fresh vegetables and fruits into her diet, you can try salads with cottage cheese. They can be fruit and vegetable.

Fruit salad with cottage cheese can be made by cutting fruits familiar to your baby, adding a little cottage cheese and seasoning the salad with natural yogurt. Nuts and cinnamon will make the salad taste more interesting.

Vinaigrette for a nursing mother

When the baby is 3 months old, a nursing mother can try vinaigrette. This is a tasty and healthy dish, but some of its components can change the taste of milk, and others can cause colic in the baby.

For example, sauerkraut in the diet of a nursing mother can cause increased gas formation in the baby, and pickles have a laxative effect and can lead to upset bowel movements in the baby. In addition, these products contain a large amount of salt, which can cause swelling and impede the flow of breast milk.

Some breastfeeding experts claim that onions change the taste of breast milk. This may be true, but there are no known cases of a child refusing to breastfeed for this reason.

A vinaigrette for a nursing mother should not contain canned or pickled ingredients. To prepare the dish:

  1. Boil beets, carrots, potatoes, take fresh or frozen green peas.
  2. Peel and finely chop the onions or green onions.
  3. Cut the vegetables into cubes, add the prepared onions and green peas.

Video: salads while breastfeeding

Salads help diversify a nursing mother’s menu, enrich it with vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber, and make it more healthy and enjoyable. However, a woman should carefully select ingredients for salads, avoid foods that are harmful to the baby, carefully monitor the purity of vegetables and fruits, the freshness of all ingredients used, cook meat and eggs, and eat only freshly prepared salads.

The holiday is approaching and we are all, of course, thinking about what to cook for the holiday table. I want it to be beautiful, festive, tasty and healthy. Everyone needs to eat healthy: both adults and children. And mothers who are breastfeeding their babies need to “know moderation” in everything. But they also want to celebrate the holiday! What should you prepare for your loved one so as not to harm the baby with these dishes? A “nursing” mother definitely needs to worry about preparing healthy holiday dishes.

But before I give you some holiday recipes for nursing mothers, theory to note.

Remember that you should not change your diet suddenly. New products must be added very carefully. Your baby's reaction to a new product may be unexpected. Allergies or diathesis may appear. Allergies at an early age can lead to more severe allergic diseases in the future.

For cooking holiday dishes for nursing mothers We give preference to such types of food processing as stewing, baking, boiling and steaming.

Meat and vegetables are very useful for a nursing mother. Therefore, choose dishes from these products. The meat should be lean varieties (not fatty pork, turkey, rabbit). You should avoid eating chicken and veal.

Choose your vegetables carefully too. Cabbage and legumes cause gas and colic in a baby.

Fish can only be consumed (again) baked, boiled or stewed. But only in moderation. Fish is an allergen.

Canned fish, salted fish, smoked fish, seafood and caviar are PROHIBITED. Strong allergen.

Sausages, smoked meats, canned meats are also PROHIBITED. They contain all sorts of preservatives, dyes, stabilizers, taste and color improvers - all this can cause allergies and digestive disorders in both mother and baby.

Holiday salads can also be harmful for nursing mothers. The use of mayonnaise, eggs, crab sticks, exotic fruits and many other products in salads can again cause the above problems - allergies and digestive disorders. Keeping salads in a warm place for a long time (on the holiday table) is a violation of storage conditions - the cause of poisoning and intestinal infection, which is completely undesirable for a nursing mother.

It is better not to use spices for preparing New Year's dishes. Possible in small quantities. Essential substances found in spices change the taste of breast milk, and can also cause allergies, indigestion and stool problems in the baby.

What drinks should you choose? This is also a very difficult question for a nursing mother. You want a lot, but you can only have some drinks.

The very first thing I want to say is that alcohol is PROHIBITED. No alcoholic beverages should be consumed by a nursing mother (including beer). Alcohol passes into breast milk, which can have a toxic effect on the baby. After all, 10% of alcohol passes into breast milk unchanged. In addition, alcohol suppresses milk production, thereby disrupting lactation. This is especially dangerous in the first weeks after birth.

Sweet sodas are also prohibited for nursing mothers. They contain dyes, preservatives, and flavorings that can cause additives and indigestion. And the carbon dioxide contained in these drinks can cause bloating and colic in the baby.

So what to choose from drinks?! You can fill the glasses with any non-alcoholic drink based on juice or fruit compote. Just remember that juices from tropical fruits, grapes, citrus fruits, as well as orange and red fruits are not recommended. The most suitable drink is green apple juice, cranberry or lingonberry juice, and not too sweet compote.

Let's move on to sweets. Sweets, pastries, cakes (especially store-bought ones) – high allergic mood. It is better to prepare desserts yourself, knowing what products are used. To prepare sweet dishes, give preference to fresh or frozen berries and fruits.

Are there many prohibitions? Don't be upset! But your holiday table will be healthy and healthy. But this will be useful not only for you and the baby, but also for other people close to you.

I remind you once again that mothers should not suddenly change their diet. And I also wanted to say! If you have already consumed foods that are “not suitable” for nursing mothers, and your child has not shown any adverse reaction to these products, then continue to use them. For example, if you ate cabbage and your child did not experience bloating or gas, you can continue to eat cabbage.

I have prepared a selection of recipes holiday dishes for nursing mothers. There was already a website for pregnant (future) mothers. You can choose some recipes from there too.

Rinse the rice and soak in water for a couple of hours. Then drain the water and cook the rice in salted water. Serve the rice along with the goulash, topping them with the carrot and onion sauce.

Mashed potatoes with fish in sour cream sauce

This dish can be prepared in a slow cooker, in the oven or in a frying pan. We will consider the option in a frying pan.

Products: fish to choose from - saury, haddock, flounder, pollock, cod, hake; potatoes, onions, cream, sour cream, butter, flour, salt.

Cooking: Clean the fish and place it in a frying pan, add onion half rings.

Oven baked potatoes with cheese

Products: potatoes, onions, garlic, cheese, butter, salt.

A healthy dish for nursing mothers. Potatoes should be cooked with their skins on. That's why it's useful.

It’s better to take young potatoes, and if it’s not the season, then carefully remove the eyes. During lactation, it is even preferable to eat potatoes with skins than without skins.

For most families, New Year is the main holiday. A time of well-deserved rest, reckless fun and, of course, a festive table bursting with delicious dishes. But what should a mother do if the New Year holidays fall during the period of breastfeeding, when not only alcohol, but even many holiday dishes are prohibited because they can cause allergies in the child? Equally, I don’t want to interrupt breastfeeding (which is especially harmful in the first six months of a baby’s life) or give up a full-fledged holiday. In order for the New Year and GW to be compatible, mom will just have to adopt slightly modified recipes for New Year's dishes and some tricks.

Salad Recipes

Whether mom decided to be content with the traditional menu (Olivier salad and herring under a fur coat) or began experimenting with exotic salads, the general principles for preparing any dishes are as follows:

  1. Mom will have to give up canned peas and corn, as well as other canned foods. Due to the abundance of chemicals (preservatives, antioxidants, flavor enhancers, flavorings), these products are extremely harmful for a nursing woman and an infant. The same applies to store-bought pickles, however, for example, pickles can be prepared with your own hands, but even there should be few of them on the New Year’s menu.
  2. Store-bought mayonnaise should be replaced with homemade mayonnaise. If for some reason it was not possible to prepare it, homemade yogurt with spices or sour cream whipped with salt and pepper/mustard can serve as a replacement. To prepare homemade mayonnaise according to the simplest recipe, just beat 2 yolks, 150 ml of sunflower oil, 0.5 tsp in a blender until smooth. salt, 0.5 tsp. sugar, 0.5 tsp. mustard and 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice.
  3. Sausages and smoked sausages must be completely excluded from the menu, replaced with boiled meat.

Recipe for vegetarian herring under a fur coat

  1. Boil, without removing the skins, 800 g each of beets, carrots and potatoes.
  2. When the vegetables have cooled, peel them.
  3. Grate separately boiled vegetables and 300 g of processed or Adyghe cheese. Carrots and beets on a medium grater, and cheese and potatoes on a coarse grater.
  4. Thoroughly wash and finely chop 350 g of seaweed (this is what will replace the herring).
  5. Add 4 tbsp to potatoes. l. sour cream, and in beets and carrots - 2 tbsp. l.
  6. Add 0.5 tsp to seaweed and potatoes. ground black pepper and asafoetida, in carrots - 0.5 tsp. black pepper and coriander; add a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon to the beets. Also add 1 tsp salt to each ingredient. salt.
  7. Crush 5 walnuts, pour the resulting crumbs into the beets and mix well.
  8. Prepare a deep dish with a diameter of approximately 25 cm.
  9. Place half of the potatoes in the first layer, level the layer and brush with mayonnaise.
  10. Then lay out half of the seaweed and spread with mayonnaise.
  11. Place half the cheese and spread with mayonnaise.
  12. Place half of the carrots, also grease with mayonnaise.
  13. Place the beets greased with mayonnaise.
  14. Repeat in the same sequence, adding the remaining ingredients. You can decorate the salad with herbs on top.

Alcoholic drinks

Alcohol, after consumption, is excreted freely and quite quickly into breast milk, however, as American breastfeeding researchers have established, mothers are allowed to drink white or red natural wine in small quantities. It is advisable to exclude champagne, traditional for New Years (as well as beer and other fizzy drinks), from the menu completely.

The maximum allowed amount of alcohol depends on the age of the child. 3 months after giving birth, a nursing mother can drink a maximum of a sip of wine, but if the baby is older than six months, up to a glass. Nevertheless, it is not worth risking the child’s well-being, and ideally you should prepare a supply of milk in the freezer in advance.

However, experts on our site believe that a nursing mother should not drink any alcohol while breastfeeding. If you want to drink alcohol during the New Year, express milk for feeding in advance.

The situation with sweets is also disappointing: nursing mothers are allowed to eat chocolate, cakes and honey only 6 months after giving birth. Nevertheless, there is a replacement for them: halva, candied fruits, marshmallows, marshmallows and marmalade can be carefully introduced into the diet as early as 2 months of a child’s life.

Also, a mother with a very small child will not be able to replace harmful alcohol with relatively safe soda - it is permissible only after the baby reaches six months of age. But compotes made from low-allergenic fruits can be drunk a month after giving birth.

Meat

It is preferable to prepare dishes from white poultry, rabbit, lean pork and beef. It is better for mom to avoid lamb, veal, chicken and other meat from young animals - they are more allergenic. During breastfeeding, game dishes are completely unacceptable, since it is often contaminated with dangerous bacteria and helminths.

As for meat products, boiled sausages (sausages and frankfurters) can be safely eaten 3 months after birth, but smoked ones are best removed from the menu for the entire period of breastfeeding.

  1. It is advisable to prepare for the New Year and Christmas long before their onset by testing all products for salads and other dishes for their allergenicity. It is not recommended to try new products directly on New Year's Eve.
  2. If the child is only a few months old, it is better to refuse to visit. Such a baby has to be fed quite often, which requires a quiet and familiar environment.
  3. Going away for a visit, leaving the child with a grandmother or nanny, is only permissible if excommunication for several hours has already been practiced, otherwise the child may refuse to drink milk from a bottle.

So, if by the time of the New Year 6 (or more) months have already passed after giving birth, a nursing mother can limit herself to virtually nothing, although particularly allergenic foods (red and orange fruits, smoked meats, chocolate) will still have to be consumed in moderation. Otherwise, all dishes should be prepared according to special “non-allergenic” recipes. If the mother intends to drink alcohol, she should express breast milk in advance. You can continue breastfeeding after drinking alcohol the next morning - alcohol stops entering milk quite quickly.
