Some products that are promoted as “healthy” or “natural” may produce loss of appetite. They are really anorexiants, medications of restricted use because they may produce alterations in the nervous system. These alterations along with the anxiety of the new mother may accentuate this condition which may lead to anxiety. Take into account that everything you consume, including medications, pass into the mother´s milk. If you are breastfeeding, this would be risky for the baby. |
