Eating chili sauce makes breast milk hot? Not sure!

For nursing mothers who are spicy amateurs, it's natural to eat chili sauce to make spicy milk. The good news is that breast milk won't change its taste 100% after what mom just ate.

It is true that mothers' appetite for breastfeeding can vary according to consumption. That's why it's all about babies, which refers to various flavors of breast milk and makes babies more enthusiastic or breastfeeding.

In fact, babies who are already in the womb have recognized that the spicy taste will be more familiar with this taste when born and breastfeeding. As long as there are no problems or the baby is always comfortable breastfeeding, eating chili sauce, who is afraid?
 
Eating chili is not a taboo

Not only in Indonesia, many countries in the world are known for their spicy and delicious menus. Call it Thailand, India, Mexico, China. Breastfeeding mothers in these countries should not avoid eating chili sauce completely.

In fact, eating a variety of foods during breastfeeding marks the beginning of the baby's taste recognition for food, which will begin to benefit from the age of 6 months. Unlike formula milk, the taste of breast milk can change. From spicy breast milk, scented onions and more.

If there is an allergic reaction in the baby after breastfeeding, it is not necessarily because the mother has just eaten sambal. This could be due to reactions to other foods that might be allergens such as processed milk, corn or wheat.
 
Breastfeeding, the phase of knowing the taste

Although in the beginning of their lives in the world, babies only know breast milk, it does not mean they do not know the taste.

Researchers at University College London have made an interesting hypothesis: breastfed babies will find it easier to eat later because they have recognized a variety of flavors, including chilli consumption problems.

This does not prevent nursing mothers from eating chili while breastfeeding for fear of spicy breast milk. Introducing a variety of flavors appropriately is the right way to bring children into the feeding period.

Here's how it works:

When a mother consumes something, including chili sauce, food enters the stomach and flows into the veins. The digestive system will break it down into proteins, carbohydrates and lipid molecules.

Similarly, the taste of this food. In addition to taste, volatile molecules that transmit the aroma of food are also active. This is a molecule that affects each individual's sense of taste.

The more diverse the taste of food consumed during pregnancy, the more the baby gets used to the taste. At the same time, it eliminates the concern that eating chili means spicy breast milk.

In fact, babies can become more adaptive during breastfeeding because of the aroma and taste left in breast milk.

This has been proven by a 1991 study entitled "Maternal nutrition changes the sensory quality of breast milk and breastfeeding behavior". In the study, respondents were a group of nursing mothers who were asked to eat thick food with the aroma and taste of garlic.

As a result, their milk also smells of garlic. When breastfeeding, it is clear that their babies do not feel disturbed and that they suckle longer than usual.
 
There are no restrictions during breastfeeding

Unlike pregnancy which imposes certain restrictions on food, such as raw and other parts, there are no restrictions for nursing mothers. That is, mothers can consume the usual menu.

However, you should consume a slightly sensitive menu, such as eating chili or processed cow's milk into a reasonable portion. Someone who doesn't breastfeed only needs to eat balanced, especially nursing mothers, right?

Some foods or drinks should be reduced - not completely avoided - when you are breastfeeding:
  • Caffeine

It is not forbidden for nursing mothers to consume coffee, but do not get more than three times a day. In addition, you should consume coffee after breastfeeding or milk so that the caffeine content is not concentrated in breast milk.

  • Peppermint, parsley, sage

The three herbs above contain antigalactagogues. If consumed too much, the risk of reducing milk production.

  • Fish contain mercury

Mothers should breastfeed wisely when eating fish. Indeed, fish is a rich source of protein omega 3, which promotes the development of the baby's brain. However, fish rich in mercury, such as mackerel or swordfish, must be avoided.

  • Food allergens

Every baby must have a different allergic reaction. Some foods that often trigger allergies or allergens are processed milk for cows, soybeans, eggs, nuts and oranges. Usually, allergic reactions can be observed within 12 to 24 hours after breastfeeding.

Don't hesitate to introduce new things to your child. Breastfeeding trials and errors mark the beginning of a series of initiatives that allow babies to discover new things in the world.
