Dumplings are a popular dish made from dough with filling inside. Probably absolutely everyone loves them. But can a nursing mother have dumplings? This depends directly on their quality and type of filling.
It’s definitely worth giving up purchased semi-finished products. After all, there are no guarantees that only fresh products and no harmful additives were used in their production. How they were stored and transported is also unknown. But a nursing mother cannot take risks. Therefore, it is recommended to eat only homemade dumplings.
It is better to prepare the dough for dumplings from 1st grade flour, not bleached. Unlike premium flour, it is rich in vitamins and microelements of the grain shell. The dough is kneaded with the addition of fresh eggs in milk, water or kefir. In the latter case, the products are more magnificent.
The benefits of sour cream and cottage cheese
Healthy protein, which fermented milk products are rich in, is extremely necessary for the body of a nursing mother. Thanks to their properties, these products quickly establish the proper functioning of the entire body during the recovery period after childbirth. Curd products contain a number of amino acids (methionine and tryptophan), which are necessary for the successful functioning of the body during breastfeeding:
- protect the liver from hepatosis;
- help normalize the process of removing bile from the body;
- calm the nervous system;
- improve metabolism.
Curd products will be excellent companions at the table not only for mother, but also for her grown-up little one. By starting to get acquainted with them during complementary feeding, the child will receive a lot of nutrients:
- vitamins of groups A, B, E, C, PP;
- calcium;
- phosphorus;
- iron.
When choosing sour cream, nursing mothers should give preference to less fatty options (10-15%). It can be actively used instead of mayonnaise, dressing salads, and also decorate the taste of any soup or side dish.

Does it make sense to prepare sour cream yourself? The store-bought version is better suited for consumption. The choice was not made in favor of a homemade product, here's why:
- Excessive fat content can lead to negative consequences in the child’s intestines and upset him, because the enzymes in babies are not yet developed enough to be able to digest such complex foods.
- The homemade version is very high in cholesterol. Choose low-fat products on store shelves. It is desirable that the shelf life of fermented milk products be short, from 3 to 7 days.
The benefits and harms of such products?
First of all, it should be said about the benefits of such products
:
- it contains fiber in abundance, which is essential for the body;
- there are plenty of vitamins (E1, B12, B1 and PP);
- starch, proteins and fat;
- minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and iron).
The most useful component in dumplings is meat. The fact is that meat contains protein, which is an essential building material. It is best to choose dietary meat, in particular rabbit, turkey and lean veal. Meat with a low fat content does not have a negative effect on the human body; it does not harm the functioning of the heart or blood vessels. And the benefits there are no less than in fatty meat.

.
When choosing such products, you must carefully read the composition: dyes and preservatives are not allowed. All this is harmful to the body of the mother and infant. You should not buy dumplings that contain not meat, but its analogue.

A serving of cottage cheese and sour cream in its pure form or as a dish should not exceed 100 g. During breastfeeding, it can be consumed no more than three times a week.
When purchasing, pay attention to the method of storing the product and the tightness of the packaging. If you notice a spoiled product (unpleasant odor, changed color, viscous consistency), do not hesitate to throw it in the trash. Eating such food can be harmful and even dangerous. Diarrhea, colic and poisoning - these can be the consequences of taking a low-quality product. A mother with lactose intolerance should avoid. This congenital feature is associated with a lack of an enzyme in the body that could digest lactose, which, as is known, is found in all dairy products.

If a baby is lactose intolerant, all fermented milk products should be excluded from the diet of the mother and baby.
People suffering from kidney disease, gastritis or atherosclerosis should be very careful when consuming the fermented milk product in question. Protein in the body of such people will be very poorly absorbed.

Today, the following fat content options are distinguished: 0%, 1%, 4.5%, 9% and even 18-20%. If you want to prepare dishes or baked goods from curd products, take a low-fat or even low-fat option, because other ingredients will already add calories to the dish. It is quite possible to pamper yourself with a pure product with high fat content already in the first month after giving birth, but in this case it is important for a young parent not to get carried away and not to overdo it with the quantity.

If this is not possible, carefully read the composition of the purchased package: it should not contain stabilizers, preservatives or dyes, only milk and lactic acid bacteria.
By the way, it is the latter that reduce the risk of a child developing an allergy to cow protein, so this dairy product can be consumed 2-3 weeks after birth. When consuming cottage cheese in the early stages of lactation, it is not recommended to add sugar.

If you purchase cottage cheese for delivery, be sure to pay attention to the following properties:
- The color of the cottage cheese should be pale white, there may be a slight tint of yellow;
- the mass should be sufficiently dense, the release of slight moisture is acceptable;
- price. High-quality products made from natural ingredients in compliance with the necessary standards usually have a high cost. Cheapness may mean that the cottage cheese is made from low-quality ingredients;
- cottage cheese that sits on the counter for a long time begins to deteriorate, so it is often sprinkled with salt; If possible, be sure to try it before purchasing the product there - fresh cottage cheese has a soft and pleasant taste.
Also, improper preparation and staleness are indicated by a bitter or too sour taste, dryness of the mass and a yellow color.
Don't forget about the rules for introducing new foods into your diet . Eat a teaspoon of cottage cheese and observe your baby’s reaction for two days.
Contraindications
There is only one contraindication: intolerance to cow's protein found in milk. When consumed, an allergic reaction may occur in the form of skin rashes. This is explained simply. The body recognizes the protein as a foreign substance. As a rule, this reaction in the baby goes away with age. In this case, you can switch to consuming a goat's milk product.

General nutrition rules
There are a number of products whose consumption during breastfeeding is strictly prohibited or undesirable:
- fresh milk;
- red vegetables and fruits;
- cereals, except buckwheat, rice and corn;
- products with added dyes, flavors and preservatives;
- Exotic fruits.
This does not mean that everything else can be eaten in any quantity. Thus, cucumbers and cabbage contribute to gas formation, but if the mother does not have a similar problem, the baby may not feel it either. And herbs and spices can give milk a different taste and it’s not a fact that the baby will like it.
It is better if meals are frequent and portions are small and be sure to drink more fluids to maintain normal water balance.
The main thing is that there is variety in the diet, ensuring the supply of necessary vitamins and microelements, and each woman must determine whether this or that product can be consumed independently using the method of moderate tests.
Are dumplings allowed?
If a woman was not diagnosed with intolerance to this dish before giving birth, then it will be completely harmless for her from the first days of motherhood. Doctors allow dumplings to be eaten, provided that they do not cause unpleasant consequences for either the mother or the child.
The main task when choosing a filling is to make the dish not only tasty, but also healthy. Cottage cheese or potato dumplings are considered the safest.
But it’s better to leave berry, mushroom or cabbage ones for later. Of the berries for dumplings, only cherries are suitable due to the fact that they are not an allergen and are easily digestible. It is not advisable to experiment with strawberries. Despite the fact that it contains a lot of useful vitamins, it can cause severe allergic reactions.
With the right selection of ingredients, dumplings during breastfeeding will perfectly help diversify the mother’s diet.
The ideal option would be homemade dumplings, which are healthier for a nursing mother. But if this is not possible, then you should contact proven and tested manufacturers. Unscrupulous suppliers can supply their semi-finished products with dangerous components and harm not only the health of the new mother, but also the child.
The right dough
Flour
For dumplings, yeast-free dough that does not contain sugar is kneaded. To prepare it, it is very important to use high-quality flour.
In this case, you will have to refuse the highest grade. It is obtained from parts of grains containing large amounts of starch, and some manufacturers can artificially whiten it using special additives. Such impurities can cause serious harm to the digestion of a woman and her child.
Eggs
It is also better to check the freshness of eggs in advance. This is easy to do, just put them in water. The ones that float up shouldn’t even be broken; this effect is due to the accumulation of hydrogen sulfide, which is produced when the product spoils. If the egg lies calmly at the bottom of the container, you can safely use it.
The dough for dumplings should be elastic, easy to roll out and not sticky when formed. There are several recipes, but it is advisable for a nursing mother to stick to the simplest and most common option.
Dough recipe
Half a glass of cold boiled water is poured into the prepared container. Then one egg is broken, a pinch of salt and half a glass of flour are added. Once these ingredients are mixed, you can gradually add another one and a half cups of flour.
There is no need to rush, mixing slowly helps achieve better elasticity. You need to finish kneading the mixture with your hands on a floured table.
The finished dough should be sticky, but still easy to handle. After it is ready, cover it and leave for 30-60 minutes. “Rested” dough will not shrink when rolled out. And if you add a drop of vegetable oil to it, the dough becomes more pliable.
Curd dumplings
When breastfeeding, it is very important to include cottage cheese in your diet. It is desirable that it be low-fat or have a very small percentage of fat content.
Otherwise, there is a risk of disruption of the child’s gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas.
This product, containing a large number of useful amino acids, is easily broken down in the body and is completely absorbed by it. And the vitamins A, B, PP, E and C contained in cottage cheese help maintain the normal functioning of the entire body of mother and baby.
Cottage cheese helps:
- replenish calcium deficiency and maintain healthy teeth and skeletal system;
- support muscle function with amino acids;
- ensure normal mental and physical development of the baby;
- increase immunity.
To prepare the filling, egg and sugar are first mixed into the cottage cheese. Some people prefer to add salt to cottage cheese. In this case, dill will be useful in dumplings, the benefits of which have also been proven long ago.
You can make sure that your child does not have an unpleasant reaction to cottage cheese by eating just 1 spoon of the product. The result must be assessed within the next 2 days. If during this time redness appears on the skin, the mucous membrane becomes inflamed, or problems arise with gas formation and stool, then you will have to give up dumplings with cottage cheese for now.
Could it be in a child's diet?
Such products contain dough and meat (when we are talking about dumplings) and dough and potatoes (when we are talking about dumplings). It is clear that every mother has reason to doubt whether it is even possible for her baby to eat such foods? It must be said right away that dumplings and dumplings themselves are not harmful.
But if they contain harmful additives or, even worse, food coloring, then this is already bad. Vegetable fats and proteins will also not bring anything good to the child. So, if you’re going to eat dumplings and dumplings, then only make them yourself.
. And use only natural products.
You can eat dumplings and dumplings when your baby is at least 6 months old. This rule must be strictly followed, otherwise the baby may develop problems with the gastrointestinal tract. The whole point is that the body of an infant is so fragile that those foods that at first glance do not carry anything bad can really do harm.
If a child has a tendency to allergic reactions, then it is better to start complementary feeding with such products no earlier than after 8 months.
Moreover, complementary feeding should begin gradually
– at first you can eat just a little bit, after which you need to pay attention to what reaction the baby’s body has.
If everything is normal, then the portions can gradually increase; if certain problems arise, then you need to stop consumption for a while.

So, is it possible for a nursing mother to have dumplings?
and how to cook them correctly?
The dough is the basis of the dish
For an infant, the ideal food option is mother's milk. During this period, a woman can eat dumplings, since they are made from dough without yeast and sugar.
It is best to buy 1st grade flour. It is made from the shell of grain, so it contains the maximum amount of components beneficial to the body.
Flour plays an important role - the choice should not be limited to the highest grade. It is obtained from part of the grain that contains a lot of starch. Some manufacturers specifically bleach it. Such additives negatively affect the digestion of not only the baby, but also the woman.
You can knead the dough only after you are completely sure of the freshness of the eggs. To check, place them in water. If it floats up, it means there is excess hydrogen sulfide under the shell. This indicates that it is best to stop using the product immediately. The body of newborns is very susceptible, so it is not recommended to use the ingredient in this form.
Cottage cheese filling
Cottage cheese is one of the healthiest foods during breastfeeding. Its components are completely broken down and absorbed by the body. Thanks to this, he receives a sufficient amount of amino acids. The product also contains large quantities of vitamins A, PP, E, B, C. All microelements help improve the functioning of the body of mother and child.
Cottage cheese is beneficial for the body due to the following unique properties:
- replenishes calcium deficiency, which negatively affects the condition of teeth and bones;
- all the necessary amounts of amino acids are supplied to the muscles;
- the newborn receives all the necessary components for development in the physical and intellectual sense;
- the functioning of the immune system improves.
Additionally, it should be noted that during breastfeeding, a woman should eat one hundred grams of cottage cheese daily. Its fat content should not exceed nine. Otherwise, the load on the baby’s gastrointestinal tract increases. Fat also negatively affects the functioning of the liver and pancreas.
It is also recommended to include only low-fat cottage cheese in dumplings. Be sure to buy it from trusted manufacturers. A product whose expiration date has already expired can cause severe poisoning to the mother or child.
For the filling, cottage cheese is used, which has previously been mixed with egg and sugar. For some women, the salty option is preferable. We also recommend adding a little fresh dill to it, which contains a large number of useful components.
Before preparing dumplings, a woman should be completely confident that the baby will be able to digest the product. To do this, it is first recommended to try eating just one spoon of cottage cheese. The baby's reaction must be monitored for 48 hours.
