The dangerous properties of persimmons for a nursing mother and her baby

1. Persimmon brings many benefits, and even affects the production of milk, as it contains almost 80 percent of the liquid. But there is a lot of sugar in it, therefore after its use the level of sugar in the blood may increase.
2. A large amount of persimmons eaten can cause constipation, and the baby too.

It is to this period that the digestive system begins to work well and better absorb substances that come with milk. If the baby is worried about gases and colic, it is better to exclude persimmons from food. Children's doctors offer only with complementary foods to eat this fruit for mom.

There are some rules on how to eat persimmons for your health:

1. Once in an empty stomach, it can upset digestion due to the high content of tannin and pectin. The result will be clumping of food into lumps, which leads to the appearance of stomach stones. Tannin is mainly found in the skin, so nutritionists advise it not to eat.
2. Do not combine protein foods with persimmons. This is because tannins can provoke protein adhesion, which will negatively affect the digestion process.
3. It is not recommended to drink dried persimmons with milk in order to prevent vomiting and diarrhea.

For babies, the danger lies in the increased content of beta-carotene in persimmons, which can act as a strong allergen. If the mother still uses persimmons, the child will suffer more, as a result, skin irritations and dermatitis may occur. Tannin not only affects the viscosity of the fruit, but it is absorbed for a long time, and for a newborn it is a very complex process. Excessive exercise can lead to upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea. There is another danger - it is possible that the load on the bladder will increase.

When choosing a persimmon, you need to buy ripe and soft so that the skin is uniform in color. Dark spots and dots warn that the fruit begins to deteriorate or was too frozen.
