Brief Answer:
Eat everything in moderation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms XXXXXXX

There is no food restriction in lactation. There are many traditional beliefs which many tend to follow. Just giving rice and no other cereals.
You can definitely switch to Wheat, Oats and Ragi. Do not be worried about weight gain, as you are exclusively breast feeding your baby is totally dependent on you for your nutrition so your nutrition should be exceptionally good.

Think of breastfeeding as continued motivation to follow the healthy diet you followed during pregnancy. Focus on eating whole grains and cereals, legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables. And go for foods that provide plenty of protein, calcium, and iron (and, as always, an occasional treat is fine).

Traditionally, breastfeeding mums are given a lot of dried fruit, ghee and sugar. These high calorie foods usually were meant to supplement the khichdi diet that mums traditionally follow after birth. If you are eating normal food, you can leave out the extra ghee and sugar. Dried fruits are extremely healthy and used in most traditional confinement foods.

Try having them without the ghee and sugar by putting them in your porridge (dalia) for example or in some kheer. This way your relatives will be happy that you are eating the traditional ingredients but you will not be loaded with the high calories.

You can eat everything in moderation. However it is possible to that some types of food and drink that get into your milk may unsettle your baby's tummy. She may have colic or gas that makes her cry. Every mum and baby is different, though, so there are no hard and fast rules about what to include or leave out of your meals.

If you think a particular food has affected your baby, you could try cutting it out for a few days to see if it makes a difference. It's thought that vegetables such as cabbage (patta gobhi), cauliflower (gobhi), broccoli (hari gobhi) and onions (pyaaz), as well as cow’s milk, eggs and chocolate can cause colic symptoms.



I would require additional information about the baby regarding the issue of vomiting

1. Since how many days has she been vomiting?
2. Does she vomit part of feeds taken or majority of feeds?
3. Is she on exclusive breast feeding?
4. Is she passing stools regularly?
5. Are you burping the XXXXXXX well?

Awaiting your response

take care

Brief Answer:
Stop giving water

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear XXXXXXX

You can definitely start consuming other cereals like wheat, ragi, etc.

Baby requires exclusive breast feeding till 6 months. I would recommend to stop giving water externally. Water and nutrients present in great milk are sufficient to take care of all the needs of the baby.
I would also suggest to stop giving Zincovit, polybioon, Feris. Babies do not require them till they are 4 months old. Also they may induce gastritis and cause vomiting.
Stopping these medicine and burping of baby will take care of small amount of regurgitation.
Do get back to me if the issue still persists, you can always open up the discussion.

Take Care
