The main thing is to find out which ones?

Beneficial herbs for breastfeeding

In addition, a lactating woman can use linden, raspberry leaves, currants, hops, caraway seeds, etc. Before using any plants, it is necessary to consult a doctor, since the risk of side effects (in the mother or child) always exists.

Harmful herbs

When using herbal teas during lactation, you should strictly adhere to the dosage indicated by the doctor. Doctors recommend avoiding herbs that stimulate hormone production or affect hormone levels. This restriction applies to plants with intense laxative and sedative effects.

List of plants that negatively affect a newborn and a lactating woman:

• Buckthorn broth is used to normalize stool, eliminate kidney, cardiac edema, postmenopausal disorders, etc. However, this plant is contraindicated in lactation, as the likelihood of side effects in a nursing mother and child increases.
• Mother and stepmother are contraindicated for breastfeeding. This is because the plant contains alkaloids.
• Elecampane is a powerful diuretic that reduces milk production. After 7 days of regular use of the broth, lactation ends.
• A decoction of ephedra (coniferous bush) is strictly forbidden to drink during lactation. The plant contains the alkaloid ephedrine, which causes headache, nausea, bouts of vomiting, disrupts the work of the heart, blood vessels, and respiratory organs.
• Ginseng tea is prohibited for nursing mothers and children under 12 years old. The biologically active components of the plant accumulate in the tissues of the body, increase pressure, provoke dizziness, nausea.
• Valerian is one of the most effective sedatives. However, the herbal remedy is dangerous for the newborn, the risk of allergic reactions and constipation increases. The child becomes too lethargic or, conversely, overexcited.
• Wormwood broth contains toxic substances that negatively affect the newborn. The plant causes an allergic reaction, disrupts the digestive tract, causes hallucinations, convulsions. In addition, wormwood makes milk bitter and reduces milk production.

Herbal preparations to increase lactation

Often, nursing mothers are faced with hypolactation (insufficient milk production). You can increase milk production with nettle, fennel, anise, cumin, etc. Herbal collection will help to establish lactation:

• 40 g of nettle, 3 g of dill seeds pour 1 liter of boiling water. After 60 minutes, the liquid is filtered, taken three times a day.
• You need to mix nettle, lemon balm, sweet clover, fennel fruits (25 g each) with 5 g of dill seeds. Dry raw materials are poured into 3 liters of boiling water, insisted, then filtered and consumed.
• Take 20 g of anise, nettle, dandelion, caraway seeds, mix, pour 2 liters of boiling water.
• 5 g of anise seeds are poured with 200 ml of boiling water, insisted. After 60 minutes, filter and take 50 ml three times.
• 20 dry nettle is poured into 1 liter of boiling water, after 20 minutes the broth is filtered, drunk three times in 24 hours, 25 ml each.

These herbal preparations help mothers to increase their breast milk production and prolong lactation for a long time. However, before using such remedies for hepatitis B, a doctor's approval should be obtained.

In order for the use of herbal tea during breastfeeding to bring only positive emotions, a woman must observe the following rules:

• Herbal tea is introduced into the diet in small portions, while you need to pay attention to the baby's condition and your own.
• It is recommended to use not strong teas, since a concentrated broth can provoke an allergic reaction in infants.
• A lactating woman can drink 2-3 cups of herbal tea a day. This safe dose will not harm mother or baby.
• Broths are recommended to be consumed without sugar or with a minimum amount. You can sweeten the drink if desired.

Thus, herbs are not always beneficial during lactation. Many plants contain toxic substances that negatively affect the newborn and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, before using medicinal plants, you need to consult a doctor. The drink should be introduced into the diet with caution and the child's condition should be monitored. If your behavior changes or a rash develops, you should stop drinking herbal tea and contact your pediatrician.

When a woman is breastfeeding a baby, she often has to hear "This is not allowed", "This is harmful." So let's figure out which herbs, what effect they have on a nursing mother, breast milk and baby. In the article, we will consider the following herbs: rose hips, chamomile, motherwort, chicory, nettle, mint, sage, fennel, licorice, oregano.

Rosehip (root, flowers and fruit) is very often used for medicinal purposes. When breastfeeding, rosehip decoction has a beneficial effect on the body of a nursing mother.

Rosehip is very dangerous for newborn babies.... The broth has a diuretic effect, useful substances are washed out of the small organism. Rosehip can also cause allergies in a child. Consequently, rosehip for a baby is not the best remedy, but a mother can use a decoction of this herb when feeding a baby.

Rose hips are rich in vitamins, they contain iron, sodium, calcium, magnesium. Rosehip broth is allowed to be consumed after childbirth, this will slow down bleeding, help remove excess fluid from the body, improve kidney performance, and increase lactation.

When feeding a baby, it is recommended to drink a rosehip decoction some time before feeding, then the arrival of milk increases. And with milk, a nursing mother transfers vitamins to the baby, which entered her body with rosehip decoction. Also, such a decoction helps to strengthen the immune system, improves metabolism and tones.

There are conflicting opinions about the benefits of using chamomile decoction.

Chamomile may be the best medicine for a nursing mother. But still a doctor's consultation is necessary. The course of herbal treatment should not exceed two weeks.

Chamomile hour is considered the best way to increase lactation. However, there is also an opinion that when a strong decoction is used, lactation, on the contrary, decreases.

So, for a nursing mom chamomile is useful:

as a gargle, douching, inhalation, etc.;

in the form of tea at night (weak).

For newborns, chamomile is useful for painful colic and intestinal problems, for calming, as well as for normalizing baby's sleep. But first you need to consult a doctor, because chamomile, like many other herbs, can become an allergen.

In the life of a nursing mother, sometimes it is simply necessary to calm down, get enough sleep, lower blood pressure - and here the motherwort comes to the rescue. A nursing mother should be careful about what she takes. Isn't that all? what enters her body is passed on to the baby with milk.

And in this case, motherwort should be taken in tablets or in the form of an herbal decoction, because the infusion contains a certain amount of alcohol, which the baby does not need at all.

An overdose of motherwort can cause immense drowsiness, nausea, increased thirst, and dizziness in a nursing mother. If you find these symptoms in yourself, you must stop taking motherwort and be examined by a doctor.

Motherwort reception for babies let's say in small doses through breast milk (not an infusion of alcohol), or in cases of hyperactivity of the baby, motherwort can be added to the bath to calm it down. Otherwise, the use of infusion for a newborn is prohibited.

Coffee is a favorite drink of many women, however, if you are a breastfeeding mother, you should give it up. Then chicory becomes a substitute for coffee. Chicory tastes almost the same as coffee, but decaf. Therefore, a nursing mother can drink chicory, because it does not have a negative effect on the baby, but only if there are no contraindications from the doctor.

The benefit of chicory lies in the fact that the trace elements contained in it contribute to the antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, soothing and tonic effect; when consumed, it improves digestion and appetite.

Doctors differ about the chicory of a nursing mother. Supporters of a strict diet are categorically against taking chicory, although in the modern world such restrictions are practically not applied. However, it is also not recommended to abuse the drink, because it, like any other herb, can cause allergies, in which case a doctor's help is needed.

The effects of chicory on lactation in modern medicine have not yet been investigated, so before consuming this drink, a nursing mother should think about the possible consequences.

For a newborn, the transmitted properties of chicory in breast milk are considered harmless, unless he has a personal intolerance.

Good lactation is necessary for a nursing mother, but it can be very difficult to establish it. Doctors often recommend using a decoction of young nettle to increase lactation. You can buy dried nettles at the pharmacy. The dosage and course should be agreed with your doctor.

In addition to its beneficial effect on milk secretion, nettle also has other beneficial properties. A decoction of nettle is a good medicine for edema, as well as postpartum bleeding. After giving birth, a nursing mother often falls, and in this case, a decoction of nettle comes to the rescue. Another decoction can be taken with fatigue and lack of sleep.

Nettle contains a lot of nutrients and vitamins that have a positive effect on the baby. Together with milk, the child absorbs vitamins A, K, E, as well as calcium, iron, honey, magnesium. A decoction of nettle perfectly strengthens the body of mother and child, increases its resistance to bacteria.

Stinging nettle should be injected little by little because it can become an allergen. If a rash appears on the skin, you need to urgently see a doctor for help.

Mint tea has a calming effect, and many cannot resist its aroma. But it is strictly forbidden for a nursing mother to abuse mint. The plant reduces lactation. If your lactation has not yet settled down, then you may not even think about mint, but only huge doses of menthol can shake the established excessive lactation. We are talking about mint not only as a herb, but also about mint lollipops, gingerbread, medicines containing mint.

Before using the product, read if it contains menthol.

Menthol is very dangerous for a newborn. When a large amount of a substance is consumed, a child may experience vomiting, convulsions.

It happens that a nursing mother has an irresistible desire to drink a cup of herbal tea, in this case, doctors recommend giving preference to chamomile. Chamomile, like mint, has a calming effect, but does not have a detrimental effect on lactation.

Well, if you really really want to feel the taste of mint, then just add a couple of fresh leaves to green tea for a few minutes. In this case, there will not be a large amount of menthol in the tea, but the pleasant aroma will remain.

Sage is an effective solution to many women's problems. The duration of the breastfeeding stage is different for each mother. One waits until the breast milk disappears by itself, while the other gradually tries to wean the baby from breastfeeding. Then she needs to get rid of milk. A sage decoction is perfect to help.

Sage lowers the level of the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for the production of breast milk, and thereby stops lactation. Doctors recommend taking herbal sage decoction for several days so that the termination of lactation is painless for the mother. If this causes pain, burning or lumps in the chest, you should consult a doctor.

The perennial fennel plant looks like dill, and its fruits are very sweet in taste. For a long time, fennel has been used for food and as a medicine.

The beneficial properties of fennel:

has a choleretic effect;

is an antispasmodic;

exhibits antibacterial effect;

promotes digestion;

has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

The beneficial properties of the plant have a positive effect on a nursing mother, but you should not abuse fennel, as it increases lactation. Also, fennel should not be taken if there are personal contraindications.

For newborn fennel not dangerous in the form of herbal decoction, medicinal preparations based on fennel essential oil and in the form of "dill water". Check the dosage with your doctor.

If, when applied on the baby's body, a rash appears, then the plant is contraindicated for the child, its use should be discontinued and consult a doctor for help. But fennel rarely causes such allergic reactions.

Basically, newborns tolerate the medicinal plant well, it is often used for the discharge of gas from newborns.

Licorice root has been used in medicine for many years.

Licorice has an antihistamine, anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory effect, the plant restores water balance in the human body. It has a beneficial effect on strengthening the immune and nervous system, tones well. It is an excellent medicine for sore throat.

Licorice intake is prohibited for breastfeeding. By its action, this medicinal plant is similar to sage - it stops lactation.

For a child over two years old, licorice root in the form of a syrup is an excellent cough medicine, but such a medicine is contraindicated for a newborn.

A perennial plant, oregano, attracts the attention of many women with its wonderful scent. Oregano is used both for food and for medicinal purposes.

The plant has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, sedative, diaphoretic, diuretic effects. Preparations based on oregano are used as antispasmodics, expectorants, to stop bleeding and to stabilize digestion.

However, the use of decoctions and infusions of the plant during the breastfeeding stage is prohibited. Newborns are also contraindicated.

Oregano can be consumed as a weak tea to increase lactation, but only under medical supervision. Discontinue use immediately after lactation is restored.

Take care of your health and the health of your baby. Remember: not all herbal infusions are safe during breastfeeding.
