After birth, the child has to " not sweet" His body, from now on, is forced to adapt to life separately from his mother. The need for sleep and nutrition are his top priorities. If sleep depends only on external factors, then nutrition is directly, for now, connected with the mother.
If a mother eats foods that cause allergies in infants, the baby’s body will definitely react to this. After all, everything that the baby’s mother eats is delivered to him along with.
Small reddish rash on baby's skin- This is most likely a reaction to an allergen. Therefore, a young mother needs to be more attentive to what she eats.
Manifestation of food allergies in infants
- Reddish rash on the skin. First of all, the cheeks, elbow bends;
- Angioedema - angioedema;
- Prolonged regurgitation of milk after feeding;
- Diarrhea or vice versa constipation;
- Bloating and gases.
If you notice these symptoms, you need to urgently pay attention to your diet. Remember what foods were consumed before symptoms appeared. And if necessary exclude foods from the diet that cause allergies in infants.
Foods that cause allergies in infants
- Cow's milk. This product often becomes an allergen for infants. As well as some types of other milk;
- Eggs;
- Fish and seafood;
- Red vegetables and fruits;
- Citrus;
- Chocolate and cocoa products;
- Pomegranate juice;
- All types of nuts;
There may also be an allergy to foods with low allergenic probability:
- Rice porrige;
- Banana;
- Rose hip;
- Apricots and peaches;
- Turkey meat;
- Lamb meat;
- Cucumbers and zucchini;
- Pears and apples.
For severe manifestations allergic reaction for the baby, for any food products, need to see a pediatrician. He will prescribe the appropriate drug. And he will recommend that the mother keep a food diary in case the allergies are recurring.
Allergy-causing foods should be consumed with extreme caution. After all, a newborn is just beginning to develop all kinds of protective functions of the body. And if, immediately after the birth of your baby, you are inattentive to your diet, you can create nutritional problems for yourself and your little one.
Proper nutrition is very important for an expectant mother - especially when it comes to pregnancy against the background of any chronic diseases. What diets can the doctor prescribe for you as treatment?
Allergies can appear at any age, but most often their manifestations begin in childhood, and a predisposition to allergies is formed in the mother’s womb and largely depends on the nutrition of the expectant mother.
Allergy (the approximate translation of this term from Greek is “another reaction”) is a pathological (painful) change in the body’s sensitivity and its reaction to contact with certain external and internal environmental factors - allergens. Allergens can enter the body through Airways, digestive organs, through the skin and mucous membranes, through the blood (in case of allergies to vaccines). Even bacteria, viruses and microscopic fungi can be allergens.
Why do allergies occur?
Over the past decade, doctors around the world have noted a steady increase in various allergic manifestations - from isolated cases to severe, lifelong diseases - in both children and adults. This is most likely due to an increase in the share chemical substances in our lives, the quality of feed in livestock farming and fertilizers in crop production, environmental pollution, which is especially pronounced in large cities. And also with the increasing availability of food products from other climatic latitudes: tropical fruits, seafood, exotic seasonings, not to mention food products with various chemical additives such as preservatives, dyes and flavor enhancers.
The earliest prevention
Everyone knows that it is much easier to prevent the development of another health problem than to cure the resulting disease later. This is true in many respects for allergies. Of course, it is impossible to completely guarantee freedom from various allergic manifestations, but it is quite possible to reduce the risk of their development. This is especially important if the baby’s parents or immediate relatives have any allergic reactions. A properly selected hypoallergenic diet for a baby is necessary and understandable, but prevention of the development of allergies must begin much earlier, even before birth and, of course, during the period of breastfeeding. Special so-called mast cells are responsible for the development of allergies, which, when they encounter a “familiar” allergen, release a special biologically active substance - histamine, and this, in turn, causes extremely unpleasant changes in the body, united by the name “allergy”. So, the acquaintance of mast cells with allergens (sensitization, that is, setting the child’s body to an incorrect - allergic - reaction to any food product) is possible even at the stage of intrauterine development. This can also happen in cases where the mother herself is not allergic to this product nutrition. Thus, a child who has had contact with allergens in utero is born already prepared for allergies. For example, the occurrence of protein allergies in breastfed children cow's milk associated with a young mother’s excessive passion for milk and dairy products, both during pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Therefore, it is so important for a pregnant or lactating woman, especially if she or the child’s father has allergies (and any form of allergy is important: to animal fur, dust, flowering plants, and not just to food), to follow a hypoallergenic diet. Proper hypoallergenic nutrition is especially important during the last trimester of pregnancy.
What is prohibited?
The basic principle of a hypoallergenic diet is the exclusion of foods that most often cause allergic reactions, that is, foods whose proteins can trigger the activation of mast cells with the subsequent release of histamine into the blood.
It should be noted that the allergic profile (list of allergens) of each allergy sufferer is individual and any food product can play this role for him. Please note that the method culinary processing product significantly affects the degree of allergenicity. For example, fried meat causes an allergic reaction more often than boiled meat.
Cross allergy
In allergology, there is the concept of cross-allergy, in which an allergic reaction is triggered not by an already familiar allergen, but by a product very similar to it, that is, having the same or very similar substances in their chemical structure. The foods and non-food allergens with the most common cross-allergic reactions are presented below.
Egg- chicken meat and broth; quail eggs and meat; duck meat; sauces, creams and mayonnaise that include egg components; feather pillows; some medications(INTERFERON, LYSOZYME, PROPOFOL (DIPRIVAN), some vaccines).
Cow's milk — goat milk; products containing cow's milk proteins; milk formulas; beef, veal and meat products from them; cow hair, etc.

Beet- spinach, sugar beets.
Potato- eggplants, tomatoes, green and red peppers, peppers, tobacco.
Legumes- peanuts, mango.
Apples- pear, quince, peach, nectarine, apricot, plum; pollen of birch, alder, wormwood.
Strawberry- raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, currants, lingonberries.
Plum- almonds, apricots, cherries, nectarines, peach, cherries, prunes, apples. Banana - wheat, kiwi, melon, avocado, latex, plantain pollen.
Kiwi- banana, avocado, nuts, flour (rice, buckwheat, oatmeal), sesame, latex, birch pollen, cereal grasses.

Garlic- onions, asparagus. This list should be especially carefully studied by women prone to allergic reactions in order to protect themselves, as well as mothers of small allergy sufferers when choosing products for their children.
Nuts- ice cream, confectionery, chocolate, candy.
Soybeans- hamburgers, chopped meat, sausages, dairy products, confectionery, sweets, cocoa, anesthesia drug PROPOPHOL (DIPRIVAN).
Anise- sweets, confectionery, perfumes.
Yeast — flour products, kvass, mayonnaise, ketchup, products with vinegar.
Molds— these microscopic fungi can contaminate nuts, seeds, and citrus fruits.
Hidden allergens
In the world of allergies, there is another pitfall - hidden allergens that are present in products, but are not visible and are not always listed in the “ingredients” column on the label. The most dangerous in this regard are nuts, milk, eggs and seafood. They may be contained in the following products that are familiar to us:
Egg- ice cream, confectionery, cutlets, mayonnaise, sausages etc.
Chicken meat- ham, sausages, etc.
Allergies in numbers
According to global medical statistics, 6-8% of children and 1.5% of adults suffer from food allergies. And in developed countries, 10-28% of children suffer from atopic dermatitis (allergic skin disease) alone. If both parents suffer from allergies, then the risk of developing allergies in their children reaches 50%. In terms of prevalence, allergic diseases rank first among all non-infectious diseases in young children.
What are allergens?
Allergists (doctors who study and treat allergic diseases) distinguish three groups of products according to the degree of likelihood of developing an allergy to them in the majority of allergy sufferers, but without taking into account the individual characteristics of each person, dividing them, respectively, into products with high, medium and low allergenic activity.
Highly allergenic foods are also called "obligate allergens". These are allergens that are required, even when consumed in small quantity, promote the release of histamine into the blood. These include: eggs, fish, seafood, caviar, wheat, rye, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, strawberries, raspberries, vegetables, fruits and berries of bright red and orange color, citrus fruits, kiwi, pineapples, pomegranates, mangoes, persimmons, natural coffe, cocoa, chocolate, mushrooms, nuts and honey.
Product group with average allergenic activity: whole milk, butter, beef, chicken, buckwheat, oats, rice, peas, beans, soybeans, potatoes, beets, peaches, apricots, cranberries, lingonberries, bananas, dark red cherries, blueberries, black currants and rose hips.
Low allergenic products: fermented milk products, rabbit meat, turkey meat, lean pork, lean lamb, refined oil, millet, pearl barley, cauliflower and white cabbage, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, green varieties of apples and pears, white and red currants, parsley and dill.
We cannot ignore the above-mentioned all kinds of chemical additives in food products. They can also provoke the development of allergic reactions. The most dangerous from this point of view are the following food additives:
Preservatives:
- sorbic acid (E 200-203);
- benzoic acid and its derivatives (E 210-219);
- sulfites and their derivatives (E 220-227);
- nitrites (E 249-252).
Antioxidants:
- butyl hydroanisole (E 321).
Food colorings:
- tartrazine (E 102);
- yellow-orange S (E 110);
- azorubine (E 122);
- amaranth (E 123);
- red cochineal (E 124);
- erythrosine (E 127);
- diamond niello BN (E 151);
- annatto (E 160).
Flavoring additives:
- monosodium glutamate (E 621);
- potassium glutamate (E 622);
- calcium glutamate (E 623);
- ammonium glutamate (E 624);
- Magnesium glutamate (E 625).
A properly selected diet, taking into account the needs of a growing and developing baby and the characteristics of the mother’s body, allows us to provide a pregnant woman with a variety of nutritious nutrition, as well as reduce the risk of allergic reactions and chronic diseases of an allergic nature in our children.
