According to the medical research, the babies will be much healthier if they are raised by breast milk of the mothers. The most important question concerned by all the mothers is how to secrete adequate and nutritional breast milk. In fact, the quality and amount of breast milk is affected by many factors, such as a good mood, regular life activities and healthy diet. Among these factors, the most important one is the nutrition situation of the mothers. 

The reasonable diet and abundant nutrients are the bases of the secretion of breast milk, and the scientific, healthy and balanced diet can ensure the high quality of breast milk for mothers. Therefore, mothers should attach great importance to the nutrition supplementation. The lack of essential nutrients can affect the quality and amount of breast milk. The foods of mothers should be diverse with high nutritional value. The foods containing abundant protein and calcium are more necessary for mothers to eat. In order to keep healthy for themselves and their babies, mothers should avoid some foods or drugs which can affect the secretion of breast milk. Some foods and drugs can take away breast milk.

Mothers should avoid taking drugs during the lactation. Most the drugs can enter breast milk through blood circulation and further affect the health of the babies. As the detoxification ability of the babies’ liver is rather bad, a lot of toxins produced by drugs can be accumulated in the liver. Therefore, it is better for mothers to adjust the physical condition by the dietary therapy. The dietary therapy can eliminate the symptoms of some diseases effectively without any side effect. Some foods like leek and ginseng can restrain the secretion of breast milk, so mothers should avoid such foods. Some irritant foods like wine, coffee and spicy flavoring can also affect the secretion of breast milk. For example, if mothers smoke during the lactation, nicotine can enter breast milk and be absorbed by the babies. According to the medical research, nicotine can seriously affect the respiratory tract of the babies. What’s more, it is difficult for mothers to digest the foods which contain high fat. Therefore, mothers should also avoid these foods as far as possible.

In addition, some new-born babies can be attacked by some symptoms of allergy. Mothers should often observe the skin of their babies closely and estimate the diet so as to treat the allergy in time.
