Vrijeme apsorbcije

[hermina]

Zanima me koliko dugo treba da se nešto što mama pojede dođe u mlijeko i koliko dugo da ode od tamo, npr. čokolada i sl. što bi možda moglo škoditi bebi. Naime, Jakov ima AD, dr kaže da nije dokazano da moja prehrana ima s tim veze, ali ja baš nisam sigurna, pa kako da provjerim? Inače sam strašno smršavila otkad sam rodila, puno manje kg imam nego prije trudnoće i ne znam više šta da jedem, jer stalno nešto izbjegavam da njemu ne naškodi. Savjetnice, molim pomoć...

Possible signs of food allergy
A small percentage of breastfeeding mothers notice an obvious difference in their baby's behavior and/or health when they eat certain foods. Cow’s milk products are the most common problem foods and the only foods conclusively linked by research to fussiness/gassiness in babies, but some babies do react to other foods. Food sensitivities in breastfed babies are not nearly as common as many breastfeeding mothers have been led to think, however.

If a breastfed baby is sensitive to a particular food, then he may be fussy after feedings, cry inconsolably for long periods, or sleep little and wake suddenly with obvious discomfort. There may be a family history of allergies. Other signs of a food allergy may include: rash, hives, eczema, sore bottom, dry skin; wheezing or asthma; congestion or cold-like symptoms; red, itchy eyes; ear infections; irritability, fussiness, colic; intestinal upsets, vomiting, constipation and/or diarrhea, or green stools with mucus or blood.

The severity of a food reaction is generally related to the degree of baby’s sensitivity and to the amount of the problem food that mom ate—the more food eaten and the greater baby’s sensitivity, the more severe the reaction. Food reactions may occur within minutes, but symptoms in breastfed babies more commonly show up 4-24 hours after exposure. If baby has an acute reaction to a new food, or to a food that mom ate a large amount of, then he will probably be back to normal within a couple of hours. If baby is sensitive to a food that mom eats frequently, symptoms may be ongoing.

[quote]What foods are most likely to be a problem?
Some of the most likely suspects are cow's milk products, soy, wheat, corn, eggs, and peanuts.

Other suspect foods:

Any food that a family member is allergic to
A food that mom recently ate a large amount of
A new food (if baby’s symptoms are new)
A food that mom doesn't like, but is eating while breastfeeding (and/or ate while pregnant) for the benefit of her baby
A food that mom craves, or feels she has to have after a bad day
Conscious likes and dislikes of foods are signals that your body may be reacting to them in an abnormal way.

Keeping a food journal with a record of foods eaten and baby's behavior/symptoms, with time of day for each, may be helpful when trying to pinpoint a problem food.




What if a specific food appears to be a problem?
If you think your baby is reacting to a particular food, then eliminate that food from your diet for 2-3 weeks to see if baby’s symptoms improve. If baby’s symptoms do improve, then this food may be a problem for your baby. Eliminating a food for less than 2-3 weeks may not be effective—cow’s milk protein, for example, can persist in mom’s body for 1
