Prosciutto is the Italian word for âham,â although most consumers outside of Italy associate this word with a specific type of cure for ham. To make it, the ham is salted and then air dried for a period of up to two years. After curing, it's sliced into paper thin pieces, which are usually slightly transparent.
The mammary glands and cells that produce milk also help regulate how much of what you eat and drink actually reaches your baby. Moderate consumption of coffee, tea, caffeinated sodas, and an occasional glass of wine or other alcoholic beverage are fine when you are breastfeeding.
Always give your baby one new food at a time for at least two to three days to watch for possible signs of an allergic reaction (vomiting, diarrhea or a rash). If you notice these, stop the food and talk with your babyâs doctor. And be sure the food is pureed and isnât a choking hazard, says Levine.
