Is it possible to eat persimmon while breastfeeding: the benefits and harms of the product
Breastfeeding women strive to eat well. Vegetables and fruits are traditionally considered healthy foods. The juicy fruits of persimmons are so attractive that young mothers immediately want to try them, but they doubt whether it is possible to eat persimmons while breastfeeding.
Why is persimmon useful for a nursing mother and baby
Persimmon is an orange fleshy berry. Its name is translated as “date plum”. The fruit does contain a lot of sugars and is reminiscent of dates in its sweet taste. The fruits ripen late and hit the shelves in late autumn and early winter. Freezing only improves their quality, eliminating unnecessary astringency.
Orange persimmon fruits contain many substances that are beneficial for a nursing mother
Persimmon is useful due to the presence of vitamins and minerals in its composition:
Ascorbic acid increases immunity, reduces the fragility of blood vessels.
B vitamins normalize the condition of the skin and mucous membranes.
Nicotinic acid is good for hair.
Vitamin A strengthens the eye muscles.
Potassium has a beneficial effect on the heart, eliminates edema.
Magnesium keeps teeth healthy and prevents calcium deposition.
Iodine affects growth and development.
In addition, persimmons contain calcium, which is deficient after pregnancy. Pectin and dietary fiber, which are rich in berries, stimulate the intestines.

The fruit has several qualities that make it an unwanted part of a nursing mother’s diet.
Persimmons simultaneously contain fiber, which has a laxative effect, and tannins, which strengthen the intestines. It is impossible to predict how this fruit will affect the digestive process.
Red and orange fruits are potential allergens. A nursing baby may develop rashes, blemishes, or scaling on the skin.
In addition, excessive consumption of sugary foods harms the pancreas.
All this does not mean that persimmon is prohibited. For mothers of newborn babies, it is better to give it up, but with the start of complementary feeding, you can already try to eat a piece of fruit every day. If the baby’s skin and stool are okay for 3 days, the fruit is safe. Although you shouldn’t get carried away with it, the maximum amount is 300 grams per day.
If redness or intestinal upset occurs, the experiment with the new product can be repeated after a month. The kid grows and develops, his reactions change.
Like all fruits, persimmons are delicious and have many health benefits. At the same time, fruits brought from other natural areas should be used with caution. It is not known what effect they will have on the body of a small child.
