Delivered a month back and im breastfeeding. Honestly craving a cold mirinda since so long yaar but not sure if it passes to baby through milk. Is it fine to have once in a while?
Honestly, I had a massive craving for orange soda when I was breastfeeding my little one. I drank a small glass once but noticed my baby got super gassy and fussy that night. After that, I just took one small sip from my husband's glass to satisfy my craving.
After my C-section, my stomach was already very bloated and full of gas. My doctor strictly told me to avoid carbonated drinks like Mirinda for at least a month because it can increase internal gas pain. Please let your body heal first, dear.
You can have a bit occasionally, but remember your body is still healing and needs proper nutrition. Since cold and fizzy drinks can sometimes cause gas or throat issues, it is always best to ask your doctor during your checkup. Balance is key, so don't overdo it.
My doctor told me that occasional soft drinks are okay post-delivery, but too much sugar is bad for your recovery. Also, if you are breastfeeding, the artificial colors and excess gas in Mirinda can sometimes make the baby colicky. It is better to avoid it for the first few weeks if possible.
Oh god, I was so scared to touch anything with chemicals or gas after my baby was born! Mirinda has so much sugar and artificial color, what if it goes into breastmilk? Maybe try fresh sweet lime or orange juice instead, it is so much safer and healthier.
Take care of your health during this postpartum phase, dear. Drinking it once in a while in small amounts is okay, just stay positive and focus on recovering. May God bless you and the little baby.
