How long does it take for food to pass into breast milk? Where do gases come from?

It is quite common to believe that a nursing mother should not eat onions and garlic. It is believed that these products spoil the taste of milk and the child may refuse to breastfeed. In fact, this statement relates more to myths than to reality. Almost from birth, the baby gets used to the fact that the taste of breast milk is constantly changing. After all, it directly depends not only on what the mother eats, but also on what processes occur in her body (for example, changes in hormonal levels). Of course, getting into breast milk, some substances can affect its taste, but for the most part, kids are completely calm about such changes. Therefore, the baby is unlikely to refuse the breast if the mother ate a clove of garlic or a little onion. However, it should be taken into account that the use of these products in large quantities, like any other “excesses” in my mother’s diet, can cause reactions food intolerance and discomfort in the child.

Breast milk: exclude “thick” foods

Traditionally, from the menu of a nursing mother, especially in the first months after the birth of the baby, it is recommended to exclude foods that can cause fermentation and increased gas formation(flatulence) in the baby’s intestines. These most often include cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, legumes, and grapes. Often, almost all raw vegetables and fruits are included in the “forbidden list”. Meanwhile, there is only a grain of truth in such statements, and such strict restrictions can even be harmful for a nursing mother, impoverishing her diet and depriving the mother’s body of many useful and necessary substances.

Indeed, vegetables and fruits contain a large amount of fiber, cellulose, pectin and other substances, the digestion of which may be accompanied by increased secretion gases in the mother's intestines. But it should be noted that coarse plant fibers, which are mainly the “culprits” for increased gas formation, are not digested and are not absorbed into the blood, passing in transit through the mother’s gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, they cannot affect the baby’s digestive system. After all, as you know, breast milk contains only those substances that enter it from the blood and lymph.

At the same time, on the menu of almost every person there are certain foods that are not very well digested and absorbed by the body, causing such unpleasant symptoms, such as flatulence, heartburn, abdominal pain, bowel dysfunction. Individual characteristics matter here digestive system: enzyme activity, microflora composition, intestinal absorption capacity, which may suffer in the presence of diseases gastrointestinal tract in a nursing woman. So, if the mother’s body does not have enough enzymes to break down certain substances (for example, protein cow's milk or the carbohydrate raffinose, found in legumes and grapes), they can accumulate in the intestines, causing increased gas formation. Some of these substances can be absorbed into the blood unbroken and then pass into breast milk, causing negative reaction at the baby's.

In any case, it is not at all necessary and even harmful for a nursing mother to exclude all vegetables and fruits from her diet. You just need to be careful and take good care of yourself and your baby. If the mother herself does not suffer from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and the products that she consumes are well tolerated and absorbed by her body, without causing flatulence or bowel dysfunction, then most likely these products will not have an effect on the child. If she notes the connection between the use specific product(it doesn’t have to be cabbage or grapes) and negative manifestations from the gastrointestinal tract in her or her baby, it is better to temporarily exclude this product from your menu.

Tea, coffee and cocoa for breast milk

One of the most exciting questions for a nursing mother is whether she can drink coffee, and in what quantities? This question is especially relevant for those women who, before the birth of the baby, could not imagine the morning without a cup. invigorating drink. Many mothers after sleepless nights feel tired and lack of strength. In such a situation, it can be very difficult to give up your favorite drink. But still, during the period of breastfeeding, you should limit yourself to drinking strong tea and coffee. It has been proven that the caffeine they contain passes into breast milk and can have a stimulating effect on the nervous system child, causing restless behavior and sleep disturbances. In addition, it has been established that the period of elimination of caffeine from the baby’s body is much longer than that of an adult, as a result of which this substance can accumulate in the child’s body. That is why a nursing woman is not recommended to drink more than 1–2 small cups of weak natural coffee per day (3–4 cups of weak black or green tea per day). If your mother really wants to drink coffee, you can allow herself a cup immediately after she has breastfed the baby. Then up to next feeding The caffeine will be cleared from her body and will have no effect on the baby. If your baby’s behavior is restless, he sleeps poorly or is capricious, then it is better to give up these drinks altogether for a while.

You can replace coffee with a drink made from chicory or barley, and instead of regular black or green tea you can use (if the child does not have allergies) Herb tea from chamomile, mint or special teas for nursing mothers.

It is also worth remembering that coffee and other caffeine-containing drinks (including cocoa) can provoke an allergic reaction in a child.

Contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding does not require the nursing mother to comply the strictest diet. On the contrary, it is very important that her diet is varied and balanced; for this it is enough to remember a sense of proportion and follow the principles of healthy eating.

Foods and lactation: everything is good in moderation

Of course, the amount of food consumed also plays an important role, since digestive disorders in mother and baby can be caused not by the product itself, but by its excess consumption. The proverb “everything is good in moderation” is perfect for feeding a nursing mother. Even if the mother ate a “tumescent” product, but in a small amount, the likelihood that the baby will react to it with digestive disorders is very low. At the same time, it has been proven that the consumption of large quantities of whole cow's milk and foods high in sugar (for example, confectionery, sweet curd spreads and cheeses, sweet without alcoholic drinks, sweet cereals, etc.), large quantity Hot and spicy foods can increase gas formation and colic in a baby.

Ideas about anatomy human body changed at different times, because the information to create the right image there was little. Moreover, such intimate moments as sexual differences between men and women, the process of feeding a child, and others were kept under seven seals. For example, until almost the seventeenth century, people thought that milk was a modified menstrual blood, because they could not explain the process of milk formation in a nursing mother. In the last century, breakthroughs in medical science We have eliminated ignorance, and now we present the process of milk production, we know the basic rules of feeding newborns and much other information in this area. In order to understand how the composition of breast milk changes depending on the food eaten, let us turn to the anatomy of the mammary glands.

Breast development begins in the womb, from approximately the fourth to the seventh week, when thickening is noticeable skin V armpit embryo. From the sixteenth to the twenty-fourth week, such folds will disappear, leaving behind the rudiments of the mammary glands. Subsequently, they are transformed into milk ducts and alveoli, which store milk. Rapid changes in the mammary glands are observed during puberty, but doctors consider full maturation only after childbirth and full production of breast milk.
The chest consists mainly of glandular tissue, the main purpose of which is the production and transportation of milk. Connective tissue performs a support function, and delivery nutrients provides blood. Spent elements are output via lymphatic system. Also directly involved nerve endings, transmitting and receiving impulses, and fat, which protects the mammary glands from damage.
Glandular tissue contains many alveoli. Their function is to store and “dispense” milk. Milk is expelled by squeezing small muscle cells around the alveoli. The alveolar ducts connect into larger structures that carry milk out through small openings in the nipples.

Changes in breastfeeding

Breasts begin to change already during pregnancy, when they are preparing for full feeding of the baby. At this time, it is influenced by progesterone, as well as prolactin and estrogen. Under their influence, the breasts begin to increase in size and become more sensitive.
Three months before giving birth, the breasts secrete colostrum. For some women, it may remain on the bra, while others do not notice the discharge. Because of high level progesterone, the lactation process does not start completely, but after the birth of the child hormonal background is changing.
The production of full-fledged milk begins only after some time, when the colostrum is gone. At this time, the baby receives the most rational nutrition, balanced by nature itself.

Nutrient penetration

Absorption into the blood useful substances which he receives human body during nutrition, occurs in the small intestine. The villi located on the mucous membrane of the small intestine are enriched blood vessels, receiving necessary for the body nutrients, and then carry them through the bloodstream throughout the body to in the right places. Exactly the same principle is used to get nutrients into breast milk.

Absorption into the blood

The absorption process is not instantaneous. For example, if a nursing mother ate a piece of meat, this does not mean that for a baby attached to the breast at the same hour, the composition of the milk will already change. The food has not yet been digested in the stomach. After all, the process of digesting meat takes about three to four hours, and if the food is fatty, then even more – up to five to six hours. Rough meat, whose fibers are dense, takes the same amount of time to digest. And only after three to five hours does the meat enter the small intestine, where it begins to be actively absorbed into the blood. Blood “shares” fluid, protein, fats, vitamins, hormones, amino acids with the mammary glands, minerals. All this affects the growth and development of the baby. In each specific case it is given certain part these components. Thus, the blood will receive nutrients as long as the food is digested.

Application of sorbents

If a nursing mother has eaten raw vegetables, fresh baked goods, milk or fruits, then excessive gas formation is inevitable when digesting these foods. There is a familiar feeling of heaviness in the stomach, bloating, and belching. Gas bubbles partially escape during peristaltic movements of the intestine, but the most “persistent” bubbles still end up in the blood. They travel through the bloodstream in the body, reaching the mammary glands. The passage of gases from milk to the baby is also inevitable, since they do not dissolve in breast milk due to its fat content. If the mother does not want to harm the baby, after such food you can take a sorbent - polyphepan, smecta or Activated carbon, which will help avoid excessive gas formation.

Thus, we can conclude that most products enter milk on average two to three hours after entering the mother’s body (with the exception of meat products).

Absorption of nutrients

Vitamins are essential components in infant nutrition. The mother's food should contain them required quantity so that the child is provided with them. Very important for the baby are:

ascorbic acid;
a nicotinic acid;
thiamine;
riboflavin;
pyridoxine.

Vitamins do not tend to accumulate in the body, so the child must be provided with them constantly. Iron and calcium are easily provided by the resources of the mother's body, so there is no need to replenish their supply. But the inability to absorb iron and calcium will have to be combated with the help of medications. Vitamins and nutrients that enter the mother’s body are transferred through breast milk within one to two hours and continue to be released from the body for the same amount of time.

Intake of allergens

Allergens are substances that accompany us throughout our lives. The body's reaction to allergens is individual, so the mother may not even suspect that feeding could result in a rash or other allergic reactions. Allergies are triggered by foods that release histamine - eggs, red vegetables and fruits, citrus fruits, chocolate, mushrooms, honey and others. This food, while not causing problems for the mother, can have a negative impact on the child. You need to be very careful when eating foods.
Products containing monosodium glutamate, aspirin, phenylalanine, cyclamates, saccharin and other synthetic substances are dangerous.
The allergen gets into the body very quickly mother's milk- in approximately forty to fifty minutes, but their arrival does not end there. Allergens will be absorbed for another eight hours with vegetables, another four hours with milk, and twelve hours with baked goods. Harmful additives remain in the woman’s body for about a week.

Receipt of medicines and alcohol

The use of medications is extremely undesirable during lactation. However, in some cases, taking medications is a necessary and justifiable risk. Naturally, the components of the drug will also be absorbed small intestine and spread by blood throughout the body. In order to protect your baby from the effects of drugs, you must:

Consult with a pediatrician on the choice of drug - you cannot prescribe which medicine to take on your own.
When visiting a doctor, clarify that you are a nursing mother - this significantly influences the choice of drug.
Read the instructions for the drug and pay attention to: what is the time of entry of the drug into the blood, features of use in pregnant and lactating mothers, what is the elimination time medicinal substance from the body.

Alcohol passes into breast milk quickly – within two minutes after consumption.

This is due to the fact that alcohol molecules are much smaller than other components, and they easily penetrate membranes. Bad influence drinking alcohol lasts from two hours to several days, depending on how much alcohol was drunk and what strength it was.

Chocolate, if it is of high quality and not in tons, can be eaten during breastfeeding. In the morning you eat a piece of chocolate (you also need to “check” all other potentially dangerous products): if the child does not get covered or bloated during the day, this product can be eaten.
As for those harmful things that are also harmful to non-breastfeeding people. The next time you want Coca-Cola, it’s better to drink vodka: it’s not so harmful for both you and the baby. In the body, aspartame (a sweetener found in Coca-Cola) is converted into methyl alcohol, which is much more toxic than ethyl. If you like soda, choose one that uses sugar as a sweetener - it can be breastfeeding.
In principle, introducing formula in itself is not beneficial for the child. And most often it is more harmful than a single consumption of most “wrong” foods. Those. Here we are not talking about the child’s health, but more about your health. There is no need to interrupt breastfeeding, but it is better to monitor your diet.

Comments:

I still haven’t heard an intelligible answer....what is harmful and what is not....let me decide for myself. We are on IV because the child did not gain weight. I give milk to him..but I also want at least some joy.I am I’ve already started losing weight on the breastfeeding diet.. soon it won’t be visible.. so I decided that on some days I can allow myself to eat whatever I want. So here’s the question: AFTER WHAT TIME CAN I GIVE MILK AGAIN SO THAT EVERYTHING I EAT DOESN’T AFFECT ON A CHILD IN THE FORM OF ALL RASHES

Answers:

At the age of 1 month. You can return breastfeeding from the breast.
You live in Moscow, there are many good consultants who have been tested by time and experience.
You can look and choose the one who is closer to your place of residence here
http://www.akev.ru/content/category/5/16/76/
This is about the fact that the child did not gain weight. In the first month, there were a large number of reasons for this outcome, which could also go away on their own over time, or you needed a little help to cope with the situation and, again, a little time, so that eventually the baby began to gain weight on breast milk. And, I repeat, the way back is not yet closed at all, but quite free.))

AFTER WHAT TIME CAN I GIVE MILK AGAIN SO THAT EVERYTHING I EAT DOESN’T AFFECT THE CHILD IN THE FORM OF ANY RASHES

Look. Products are digested differently, enter the bloodstream differently, and exit the body differently.

To start.

I'm on a breastfeeding diet

What kind of diet? What exactly do you allow yourself to eat now?
Who prescribed this particular diet for you?
What foods do you want to eat, but are you confused about their compatibility with your child?
Has your child spilled on any product before? If there was a rash, was it in one place or could the rash change location on the child’s body?

Yes, you can’t have barbecue... it’s with seasonings, you can’t have strawberries, you can’t have melon, you can’t have grapes, and a lot of other things. I don’t really eat meat... more vegetables... but you can’t have tomatoes and cucumbers... you can’t make salads... in general, I was sitting on one milk, cottage cheese, cereals and boiled vegetables. Yes, it somehow broke out on both my face and body, and that day I didn’t eat anything special... the only thing I ate was a banana, maybe for that... in general, it’s already falling out... but only on my face... And we hung on our breasts for 24 hours... so I’m alone... my husband is always at work... what kind of milk will there be if I didn’t have time to eat or anything... hence the nerves and stress and the milk has become less the baby was hanging constantly, he still cried and hardly slept... as it turned out, he was hungry... they began to supplement the feeding and began to gain weight and immediately the baby became calm. So I decided, “It’s better to feed with formula, but with heart, than with breastfeeding, but reluctantly” because For me, breastfeeding turned out to be hard labor. And now I’m calm and know that my baby is fed and I have time for other things around the house

Answers:

I didn't understand. You write about IV, but at the same time follow a nursing diet. Or, after all, are you mixed-fed?

Not all children develop rashes from “forbidden” foods. Most likely, there will be no rashes with Coca-Cola, because... its poisons act on the brain, not the skin.
And, as a rule, there is a reaction to 1-2 products, but not to the rest.
Diets “for nursing” are mostly irrational, because... they prohibit many products that are vital for mothers. Whereas there is no point in canceling 100 products if the child is allergic to just 1 (and maybe not from the list). How to highlight allergenic product, which is prohibited specifically for your child - eat it in the morning and watch it throughout the day. If a rash appears on this product, cancel. If not, write it down in your diary in the “allowed” column.
A child’s rash may not be related to the mother’s diet. This could be an allergy to detergent, heat, or it could be a consequence of an imbalance in the mother’s diet (for example, the mother ate too many carbohydrates and not enough protein). Distinguish allergic rash It’s simple: when you cancel the allergen, it disappears within 3 days. Those. You don't eat for 3 days forbidden product- the rash disappears.

Regarding recommendations for healthy image life. Of course, you decide for yourself what to eat and what not. But the fact is that an unhealthy diet has a bad effect on the functioning of your liver and the microflora of your intestines, which, in turn, increases the penetration into milk of those substances from food that would not normally penetrate there. Ultimately, this results in the same state of the child. Therefore, we consider ourselves obligated to communicate such recommendations. How to use them is your decision.

Mother's milk is a unique combination of nutrients that a newborn baby needs for the full growth and development of all organs and systems.

The place where breast milk is produced is the alveoli of the mammary glands. All food eaten by a woman is broken down into individual components and ends up in breast milk. Process of food breakdown and absorption individual components into the blood takes some time.

Information about the timing of the passage of certain food components into breast milk may be useful for young parents. Having such information, you can easily calculate the timing of feeding a child after taking some medicines or food that causes.

Glucose

Entry of glucose molecules into bloodstream observed already 10-12 minutes after eating food. This process stops after half an hour. Easily digestible (simple) carbohydrates can affect the sweetness of mother's breast milk. High content simple carbohydrates observed in honey, jam, grapes and sugar. Excessive intake of sugar from mother's milk is a burden on the child's body. The child develops skin problems and increased gas formation in the intestines.

Substances that cause fermentation

Foods containing large amounts of proteins and fats can provoke fermentation processes in the intestines.

Foods rich in vegetable fiber (White cabbage, legumes). If a nursing woman develops flatulence, she is recommended to take enterosorbent (Smecta, Polyphepan). These drugs are not able to be absorbed into the blood, and therefore cannot pass into breast milk.

The timing of the entry of fermentation components into breast milk is individual for each nursing woman.

Substances that cause allergies

The penetration of allergens into mother's milk is observed after 35-50 minutes from the moment of consumption of the corresponding products. The duration of admission ranges from 2.5 to 13 hours, as it depends on the rate of breakdown of food products in the body. For bakery and flour products this period is 12 hours, for dairy products - 4 hours, for fruits and vegetables - 5 hours.

Chemical preservatives contained in many foods can pass into breast milk for up to 1 week after consuming the product containing the substance.

Allergic substances increase the production of histamine, which leads to the appearance of rashes and itching. The consumption of such products by the mother contributes to the formation of an allergic reaction in the child:

citrus;
seafood;
red fruits and vegetables;
Bee Honey;
cow's milk (whole)
nuts and seeds.

A nursing woman is strictly prohibited from consuming food products containing the following components:

Plant extracts and synthetic vitamin complexes. These substances are found in many soft drinks.
Monosodium glutamate. This component is added to food products to enhance the taste. Great content MSG is observed in potato chips and canned food.
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). High levels of aspirin are observed in sweet carbonated drinks (lemonade).
Nitrates. Large amounts of nitrates are contained in early vegetables and fruits, especially greenhouse ones. Attractive appearance fruit may indicate high content nitrates

In order to cleanse your body of allergens as quickly as possible, a nursing woman is recommended to drink plenty of water. For quick cleaning, you can use enterosorbents (Enterosgel).

Water-soluble vitamins

A certain percentage of vitamins that enter the mother’s body with food will end up in breast milk. Water-soluble vitamins include ascorbic acid (vitamin C), B vitamins, and nicotinic acid. These substances are not prone to accumulation, so a nursing woman should receive them daily.

The time it takes for water-soluble vitamins to enter breast milk is from 3 to 5 hours.

The following foods are sources of water-soluble vitamins:

A large number of ( ascorbic acid) contained in fresh berries, rose hips, parsley, citrus fruits and white cabbage;
B vitamins are found in abundance in foods such as meat, organ meats, liver, legumes, yeast, nuts, spinach, hard cheese, carrots, fruits and tomatoes.
Excess nicotinic acid observed in seafood chicken meat, liver, eggs, carrots, legumes and parsley.

Alcohol and drugs

Increase in concentration ethyl alcohol in the blood occurs already 3 minutes after drinking alcoholic beverages. The timing of alcohol removal from the body depends on dose taken and alcohol strength.

Feeding a child with breast milk is strictly prohibited until alcohol is completely eliminated from the body. Ethyl alcohol fragments will be present in breast milk as long as alcohol circulates in the blood.

If we talk about medications, many of them can pass into breast milk. The timing of entry into milk is different for each medication. For getting accurate information It is recommended to read the instructions for medicinal product. During the course drug therapy It is recommended to limit or temporarily stop breastfeeding.

Calcium

Exclusion into breast milk occurs 3-4 hours after absorption into the blood. Regardless of the diet of a nursing woman, breast milk will be regularly enriched with calcium from the reserves of the mother's body. If calcium reserves are not replenished on time, then a nursing mother may have problems with musculoskeletal system and teeth. Special attention should be given to products such as hard cheese, whole milk, cottage cheese and fish.

Fats

The fat content of breast milk directly depends on individual characteristics female body. Eating large amounts of dietary fat does not guarantee an increase in nutritional properties and fat content of breast milk.

Iron

Mother's milk contains sufficient quantity, regardless of the volume of its intake from food. From the moment of consuming food containing iron until it passes into breast milk, 2 to 4 hours pass.

Some babies experience impaired iron absorption. This condition threatens to appear iron deficiency anemia. To replenish iron reserves, a nursing woman is recommended to consume the following foods:

red meat;
liver and offal;
apples and apple juice;
parsley;
Jerusalem artichoke;
beet.

If a child experiences a lack of iron, doctors prescribe complementary feeding. After the birth of the baby, every woman receives recommendations that help to improve the process breastfeeding With maximum benefit for mother and child.

Young mothers often wonder how long does it take for what they eat to enter the milk? You may not be able to wait for an exact answer to this question, because each product is absorbed differently and requires less or in some cases more time for absorption. One thing is for sure - all products that enter the stomach are deposited in breast milk.

The connection between food and baby feeding

If the food was eaten at lunch, and the mother decided to feed the baby immediately after eating, then there is no effect on the child New Product, eaten by mom, will not produce.

Milk is renewed every 2-3 hours when the mother feeds the baby. The question is still relevant today, because different products have different time absorption and processing. As soon as food enters the intestines, raw materials are formed from which the body receives substances, minerals, vitamins, etc. The blood carries all the macroelements of the digestive system throughout the body, after which they are absorbed into milk. Liquid that gets into mammary gland, remains there until required - until you need to produce a new portion of the milk treat for the child.

If there were growth hormones in the meat (introduced during production and processing of products), then they enter the mother's milk along with the liquid. The child receives these hormones through food.

Liquid, proteins, carbohydrates and dense fats are absorbed into the glands and remain there for several hours. As milk forms, a woman may feel tingling and firmness in her breasts.

When the milk is ready to be released to feed the baby, a open channel, through which food flows. Some mothers try to express after drinking a glass of alcohol or eating a piece of smoked fish or other product.

Duration of absorption of fresh foods

Some mothers love to eat, and this is not a crime. To have a lot of milk, you should eat carefully, foods should contain vitamins. If a nursing mother lacks something summer and light, or is tired of fried and steamed food, then she can eat a few raw green apples, exotic fruits, a few raw vegetables, fresh rolls and delicious hot bread; wash it all down with cherry compote or cherry juice.
All products will definitely get into the intestines, and, therefore, into the blood and through breast milk to your baby.

In order not to deprive yourself of this opportunity (after all, cherries grow only 2 months a year), before or after taking these products you need to drink activated carbon or polyphepane. The tablets do not enter the bloodstream and are not transmitted to the baby. For this purpose, the child must also take childish look adsorbent. It's enough low dose so that only bad minerals leave the body, while the good ones remain and have a beneficial effect on the intestinal flora.

It will get into the milk in 60-70 minutes. If the mother immediately began to express, the hit rate increases significantly. The duration of absorption after entering the glands is 3-4 hours.

Nutrients and soluble vitamins in foods – they also affect the composition of milk. If a nursing mother needs vitamins such as parsley, beets, citrus fruits, cranberry juices, cabbage in fresh, rose hips and products containing them are not included in milk. The mother must consume the ingredients herself in order to pass them on to the baby. There is also no cumulative effect in:

The list of products is very large, and the more of them on the plate, the better it will be for mother and child. As soon as the mother needs to introduce complementary foods, the doctor should prescribe vitamins for the child in the form of syrup so that the baby receives the dose to which he is accustomed. At the same time, the woman herself should try to ensure that her food includes a portion of fish or cheese every day.

The transition to milk occurs after 2 hours. The duration of absorption is 3 hours after the breakdown of products.

Duration of absorption of allergic products

If a mother has the habit of pampering herself with various juices, citrus fruits, berries, red fruits, smoked meats, sausages, sodas when she is breastfeeding, she should remember that all these ingredients will pass into breast milk very quickly. The child may develop rashes in the form of red dots. This is not diathesis, but an obvious allergic reaction. It occurs due to the release of histamine and glutamate. Below is a table showing which foods contain these substances.

Substance	Products containing histamine		Products containing aspirin	Products containing cyclamates
histamine	sausages, sauerkraut, frozen ingredients, herbs.
glutamate		chips, crackers.
			milk with a long shelf life, sweet sodas.
cyclamate				saccharins, chewy sweets.

All these ingredients and products can be absorbed into the blood and enter the milk very quickly. Before taking it, you must eat the sorbent if it is impossible to refuse. Absorption rate into breast milk is 20 minutes!

If you continue to eat these products, then the substances will remain in the mother’s body all the time - when consumed with vegetables - up to 6 hours, with milk - 3.5 hours, with bakery products- up to half a day, nutritional supplements(E) – up to 1 week.

Fats, drugs, alcohol

These products are not combined into one category beneficial properties, and the degree of importance for women and child's body. Fats will enter a woman’s bloodstream 15 minutes after eating the product. Fats enter breast milk and remain there in the quantities required by the baby. True, no matter how much mom eats, sweets and fats will continue to enter the bloodstream for another 20 minutes, no more.
If your child needs to gain weight, you should not eat sweets. The mother will recover, and the child will receive as much fat as is not enough for the body to absorb.

Medications are prohibited for nursing mothers, but there is a list of medications that are allowed to be taken. Before taking it, you should always read the instructions, which tell you how long it takes for the substance to enter the bloodstream and how it is eliminated. Some manufacturers cannot indicate what the absorption time of a particular substance is, and how long you need to wait for it to reach the milk. All this is done for ethical reasons, since no one will experiment on infants.

Alcohol - it is absorbed into the blood immediately feeling of lightness dizziness, intoxication. The degree of absorption depends directly on the amount of alcohol consumed. Also greatly influenced by a person’s body weight, metabolic rate, and strength of the drink. Alcohol will enter the milk after 2 minutes. It will remain in the body for up to several days.

Therefore, in order not to risk the health of the most important person in life, you should not try to conduct experiments, even if you really want a sip of champagne for your anniversary.
