Hi !!
I wanted to ask you which all vegetables can we eat after the delivery . Are you avoiding any vegetables ? Also are you avoiding any dairy products ? What about chana , Rajmah etc . Can we eat these ?
Best wishes,
Ritu Disha replied. Hi Ritu,
i am saying this after seeing my cousin's experience last year. she too avoided in the beginning stuff like rajma, cholay etc. but later, say after 4-5 months, when she ate even a bit of these things her baby used to get constipated and she had to give him anaema.and now in my case my doctor told me to eat everything right from the beginning so that baby gets used to it.i have been eating rajma, beans, potatoes etc.. and till now there is no problem at all. no gas trouble too.
take care. Ritu replied. Thanks for the tips !!They are really helpful . Yesterday the Pediatrician told me to avoid - Califlower , Cabbage , Brocolli , beans, eggs as they give gas to the baby .Also to Keep dairy products to the minimum .
Best wishes,
Ritu Radhika replied. few tips i know..
from lactation consultant - drink lots of water/ calcium drinks - milk..i still continue my protein shakes...noticed breasts full when i drink liq. often
From tradtional knowledege- jeera/fenugreek seeds good for milk production..can have jeera water.
avoid chana dal/pulses that heavy to digest and produce gas. rajma will be one of them
rice/bread/nuts/raisins/rasam/palak
vegetables..good for u..see what suits u .
i can vouch for water in diet..
Take care.
Radhika sumana replied. Hi,

If u are breastfeeding than it is necessary that u avoid certain veggeis like potatoes, beans etc...My baby gets gas even if i eat cauliflower, so i have to be very careful with the vegetables i take in.So u can try one vegetable for a day or two and see if it is affecting the baby...if it does not , then u neednt avoid them....
I dont have any idea about avoiding dairy products...
So hows Anoushka doing, it is a very pretty name...hope u have adjusted to ur new routine.
Enjoy,
Sumana
