am breast feeding and the only food l take is biscuit and fanta. can it harm my one month baby?

Answer 1

No, but you're not going to feel good--unless you have eaten that way for a long time, it won't do anything to the baby.

Answer 2

yes it can. would you want to be feeding your baby only biscuits and fanta? it can also really harm you. in order to produce milk your body will "steal" nutrients from you but there are some nutrients that your body does not keep stores of. vitamin c for example. you have to have vitamin c every day. the body does not keep stores of it. you also should be taking a multi vitamin. if you can not eat a balanced diet you should try formula...it would be better for your baby.

Answer 3

Yes. For your baby's health as well as your own you need to get all of the daily nutrients required. Breastfed baby can take over 5000 calories from you a day. And what you eat they eat. If your worried about your baby and your not sure that you can eat what is required then your baby may need to be formula fed. That's ok. But you keeping your self health is important for helping raise your new bambeano. Congrats on the new one.

Answer 4

You need to see a nutritionist who teach you how to eat better foods. Fanta contains caffiene which is NOT good for the baby. If you are not going to eat right for baby then put the baby on formula.

Answer 5

This is harming you and the baby !! Are you tired all the time?
You need to eat more & much healthier & you should still be taking Pre-natal vitamins- or you are gonna CRASH -and you cant afford to do that -cause your baby depends on you
I hope I'm not being harsh -I'm not trying to
It's just really important that you take care of yourself & eat right not just for the baby but for your own well being -
I'm breatfeeding too & on days when I didn't eat right (like when I ate alot of junk food) I felt horrible and so weak -especially if I forgot to take my pre-natal
So when I feed my baby -I make sure I'm eating & drinking good food -too
It helps me if I pretend that what I eat goes directly to her at the time that I eat it -that why I'm sure to only eat good stuff
Hope this helps -good luck

Answer 6

No. But it can - and will - harm YOU. Your baby will takes what s/he needs regardless of what you're putting into your body. And eventually, your poor nutrition might affect your milk supply. Why on earth are you only eating buscuits and Fanta? It's important to your baby that YOU are healthy - s/he needs you! Good nutrition is IMPORTANT, not only because you're breastfeeding but because you need to set an example for your child.

Answer 7

Not only do you need to eat healthy but you should still be taking your prenatal vitamins. Your diet can affect your baby, but your body will give all you have to the baby first, so not only will this minimal diet be bad for the baby, it could be detrimental to you as well. If you are having problems eating, no apetite, puking, ect.....See your doctor, there may be an underlying cause.

Answer 8

yes very much so.
What you intake now is what you feed your baby.. There's not enough nutrients in the breast milk at present for your child.
It's best to hurry back into proper meals ASAP for the sake of your child.. Start back with enough Fruits & Veges.. Calcium & Protien is important too..

Answer 9

Just remember this.
Whats goes into your mouth, goes into the babys mouth.
Since your breastfeeding, you should be drinking MILK.
Drinking a soda once in a while won't hurt anything.
Foodwise, you need to EAT FOOD, not just a biscuit.
That will not keep your strength up..not to mention, your not giving yourself any vitamins or minerals, which is essential to YOUR HEALTH...

Answer 10

Yes because she is not getting the nutrients that she needs from you. You need to follow a good healthy diet to make sure that your baby gets all she needs. If you don't want to do that then get canned formula.

Answer 11

Your baby will get all it's nutrients from your breast milk. It is doubtful that the baby will suffer right away, as your body will give up it's nutrients to your child.

However, you will probably suffer, either in the near future, or later in life, from osteoporosis, as your bones will give up their nutrients, from rheumatism, as your joints will give up their nutrients, from Alzheimer's as your brain will give up it's nutrients, from heart disease, as your muscles will do the same.

When you run out, then your baby will suffer, but someone else will surely feed it as you will be unable to.

Of course, it's your life, and if you want to be crippled in later life, keep up the diet.
