A nursing mother’s diet should definitely include fruits – and it would be better if these are fruits that are familiar to you and that are grown where you live.

These primarily include apples, pears, plums, cherries, etc.

But southern exotic fruits – for example, mango, feijoa, figs, etc. – should be treated with caution.

When breastfeeding, it is also not recommended to eat too many citrus fruits and some berries, such as strawberries and wild strawberries.

The listed products can cause allergies in the baby or the mother herself.

But that's not all: try not to eat unripe or underripe fruits.

Due to the fact that they contain coarse plant fiber, the consequences will be increased gas formation in the intestines or loose stools.

Lastly, you should not eat too many fruits with high sugar content. These include bananas, grapes, pineapples and others, as this leads to increased load on the insular apparatus of the pancreas and an increase in blood sugar.
