Is it possible for nursing ice cream: when to start and how to enter the diet?
Like any other product, ice cream should be included very carefully in the diet of a nursing mother. It is better to start doing this no earlier than a month after birth. The first month it is advisable to adhere to a strict diet.
For the first time it is better to start trying milk or cream ice cream. In extreme cases - ice cream. You should not immediately throw on a whole briquette, at first a very small amount will be enough. Next, you need to carefully monitor the condition of the baby. Colic occurs after a few hours. In the case of allergies, this time increases to three days. This means that during this time it is better not to eat new products (especially ice cream), so as not to confuse the cause of the reaction.

Can lactating ice cream: what are its disadvantages?
The main danger to the baby is the composition of the ice cream. It’s not a secret to anyone that to improve taste, as well as for longer storage, various substances are added to it.
In addition to the protein, which is found in ice cream and often causes intestinal upsets or an allergic reaction, thickeners, preservatives and stabilizers can negatively affect a child. All this not only worsens the condition of the child at the moment, but can serve as an impetus for the development of more serious diseases.
In order to understand whether it is possible to breastfeed ice cream, it is enough to know that for its preparation at the manufacturing plants, animal fat is often replaced with synthetic vegetable fat. How could this threaten? Such fat tends to be deposited in the body and subsequently give impetus to the development of diseases such as obesity, atherosclerosis or oncology. And since all the substances entering the mother’s body with breast milk are also transmitted to the baby, ice cream becomes dangerous not only for mom, but also for her child.
Another undesirable property of delicacies for a nursing mother is an increase in the fat content of milk. Its composition and nutritional value for each woman is individual. It may happen that after eating ice cream, the fat content of milk will increase significantly. This will lead to a child’s digestive upset, loose stools with undigested protein and colic.
