Almaklumla..Sekarang Ain ni dah jadi Multi Purpose..huhu..
Blood pressure rendah! Cholestrol dah naik skit...Gula Rendah...
Memikirkan keadaanku yang meruncing ni, nakla meninta disini berkanaan pemakanan/nutrisi yang perlu bagi ibu menyusukan..
Afeef dah genal 2 tahun setengah baru baru ini..Tapi, ain tetap bf lagi dia...Bila nak berenti? Rasanya BILA SAMPAI MASA nanti.. :)
Hanya tuhan mengetahui.. Nak wean off dengan afeef? Hurmm...
Anyway,
Berbalik pada nutrisi untuk ibu yang menyusukan..Sebenarnya lebih kurang dengan ibu yang hamil.
Ibu yang menyusu menghasilkan lebih kurang 23-27 ounces milk/day yang mengandungi 330mg calcium per quart. So, kita memerlukan lebih tenaga lebih kurang dalam 500 calories sehari! Oleh itu, para ibu yang disayangi, amalkan keperluan nutrisi yang mencukupi! Jangan duk sibuk nak "berdiet" jer... :p
Kualiti susu ibu sebenarnya hanya affected in extreme of deprivation, atau terlebih ambil makanan yang particular sahaja. Tapi kuantiti susu banyak bergantung pada macamana ibu berdiet (mengambil makanan mengikut nutrisi yang diperlukan). Makanan yang diserap oleh ibu yang menyusukan bukan hanya oleh keperluan badan ibu tetapi juga membantu ibu menghasilkan susu. ni fakta ni, kalau ibu tidak mengambil nutrisi dengan betul, badan akan mengutamakan penghasilan susu terdahulu dan keperluan badan anda akan jadi nombor 2. Sama juga masa hamil, fetus akan dapat segala nutrisi dulu sebelum ibu. In fact, baby yang hanya berat beberapa pounds, akan menerima dekat dengan 1000 calories sehari melalui susu ibu (SEBAB TU LA SYURGA TERLETAK BAWAH KAKI IBU TAU!!)
The Basics
Increase your water consumption by one quart per day, so that you are drinking a total of 2.5 to 3 quarts. Nursing women tend to be thirstier anyway, especially during feeding sessions, because part of their water consumption goes directly to milk production. But don't overdo it: too much liquid also can reduce milk production.
Increase your daily caloric intake to 2,500 calories: you can even eat more if you are planning to continue breast-feeding for more than three months (2,800 calories per day). But again, be careful: many nursing mothers are tempted by sweets. Stick to healthy foods instead! Eat more proteins. The basic rule is to eat I gram of protein each day for every pound you weigh.
Spread your caloric intake over five "meals," breakfast, lunch, after- noon snack, dinner, and an extra snack during the evening. Each snack time is also an opportunity to drink water, eat a low-fat dairy product, and a piece of fruit. As your body is continually producing milk, it needs your caloric intake to be regular.
Stay away from tobacco. Nicotine passes directly through breast milk to the baby. if you cannot control yourself, build in a gap of at least an hour between your last cigarette and your next feeding session, so that the nicotine in your system has a chance to decompose at least partially.
Avoid regular consumption of alcohol. Alcohol passes through milk in less than an hour and if the baby consumes it in large quantities it can retard his growth. if you drink an occasional glass of wine or beer, save it for after a feeding session.
Take no medication without first consulting a doctor. Most antibiotics, sulfa drugs, chemical laxatives, and all products containing iodine are contraindicated while you are breast-feeding. Other medications, taken over a long period, can also be dangerous.
Beware of pollutants. Like nicotine, pesticide residue easily passes through mother's milk. If you are nursing, stay away from insecticides (especially in airborne forms such as aerosols or coils). Try to use natural insect repellents such as citronella. Eat primarily unsaturated fats. Sunflower, corn, rapeseed, and olive oil provide fatty acids that are essential for building the baby's nervous system.
Eat food containing vitamin B 9. In Western countries, the only vitamin really lacking in women's diets is vitamin B 9 (folic acid). Birth control pills accentuate a woman's vitamin B 9 deficit, and may also contribute to a vitamin B 6 deficiency. During pregnancy, folic acid is vital to the development of the baby's nervous system. Nursing mothers are well advised to continue taking their prenatal vitamins. Folic acid also can be found abundantly in asparagus, cabbage, corn, chick- peas, and spinach. Many other foods, such as wheat and orange juice, have been enriched with folic acid. Check the package labels.
Take zinc supplements. According to a British study, pregnant and nursing women also often lack zinc. They should consume 15 to 20 milligrams per day. Zinc is found in eggs, meat, whole flour, and oats.
Consume 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. A balanced diet only provides 800 to 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily. Because nursing mothers need 1,200 milligrams, a calcium supplement will probably be necessary. Calcium needs can also be partly met from dairy products, raw vegetables, almonds, and hazelnuts.
Do not rush to buy vitamin A supplements. People often talk about vitamin A supplements for nursing mothers, because their daily need rises from 1,000 milligrams to 1,300 milligrams. It is true that if the woman had a vitamin A deficiency during pregnancy, this problem may worsen after childbirth. But anyone who eats enough carrots, vegetables, butter, fish, and meat will absorb enough vitamin A.
We hear a lot about foods that can irritate the baby-turnips, celery, watercress, citrus fruits, onions, cabbage, spices, leeks, cauliflower-by giving him gas or changing the taste of his mother's milk. For example, some people say that garlic increases milk production; others say it gives the baby gas. There is no universal rule. Moreover, different cultures prefer foods that others consider to be "bad" for nursing mothers. Each baby reacts differently to the foods his mother consumes. If your baby is particularly disturbed one day, try to remember what you have eaten in the past twenty-four hours. If one food seems suspect, eliminate it from your diet for a while.
When nursing, observe your baby so you can eliminate from your own diet any food that seems to bother him. There exist nutritional supplements that are said to increase milk production. Their effects have not been proven scientifically, but they have a placebo (psychological) effect. Be careful, some of these supplements have a very high sugar content, and are therefore high in calories. Also, many midwives will tell you that fennel and beer increase milk production, and that parsley stops it.
