After childbirth, can you eat sushi and tiramisu again?

During pregnancy, future mothers should not eat sushi, raw milk or tiramisu. But from the day of the birth of the baby, the brand-new moms should no longer give up any of this, German experts assure.

Salmonella in raw eggs or fresh fish, as well as toxoplasmosis caused by not quite cooked meat, can no longer affect the baby during breastfeeding.

It is also not bad to drink two cups of coffee a day, as long as these are not drunk immediately before breastfeeding.

The diversity of flavors marks the taste of babies

A balanced diet is now important, because the more varied breastfeeding mothers eat, the more curious the child will be later to receive different foods: everything mom eats influences the taste of breast milk and can mark the future taste of the baby.

However, there is one exception: it is advisable to continue to avoid alcohol, because it passes into breast milk. So, not even a toast? On special occasions, it is allowed, as long as the mother breastfeeds the child or draws milk shortly before drinking. So, experts say, the body has time until the next time it is breastfed to break down alcohol.
