as

*Fewer intestinal diseases.

*Fewer dental problems in
later years.

*Decreased obesity.

*Less constipation

*No over-feeding because a
baby will stop nursing when
she or he is full.

Avoiding such foods a curry,
spices, shellfish, or garlic is
not necessary although certain
foods may flavor breast milk
and make it unappealing to a
particular baby. If your baby
seems to react to a specific
food, it is easy enough to
avoid that food, and re-
introduce it when your child is
older.

It is important that you
watch you infant for fussi-
ness,rash and a change in
feeding habits. These symp-
toms should be reported to
your physician or local health
authority.

Coffee, tea, chocolate, many
soft drinks, some foods, and
many drugs contain caffeine.
If your baby becomes wide-
eyed, overly active, and will
not sleep, you may need to

‘ts. Drugs

consume caffeine-free produc-
can be passed
through breast milk and be
harmful to your baby.

Alcohol should be
eliminated from a breast feed-
ing mother’s diet. Blood al-
cohol rises almost immediate-
ly after drinking and passes
into your breast milk.

Nicotine in cigarette smoke
is a toxic drug. It interferes
with the let-down reflex and
can reduce the amount of
breast milk produced, Second-
hand smoke increases your
baby’s chances of respiratory
illness.

Marijuana poses a different
risk. Animal studies have
shown that structural changes
occur in the brain celis of

newbom animals nursed by
mothers whose milk contained
cannabis.

If your newborn is feeding
properly every two to three

~ hours, producing’ from six to

ten wet diapers per twenty-
four hours, has regular bowel
movements, and is gaining
weight, she or he is getting
enough breast milk.
