Often, new-born mothers who have started breastfeeding have a burning desire to click on the seeds. A completely natural question arises, is it possible to eat seeds during breastfeeding?

Statistics show that exclusively Russian women want to try the seeds during breastfeeding, since in European countries the aforementioned food product after birth is not accepted.

If a nursing mother simply can not do without the above product, then it is better to opt for pumpkin seeds.
