Breastfeeding provides numerous advantages for both you and your child. Because you'll be burning more calories, it's critical that you eat a nutritious breastfeeding diet and drink lots of water.
Because the recommended enhanced calorie intake during the latter two trimesters of pregnancy is 300 calories per day, an exclusively breastfeeding mother will likely require either the same amount of calories she was getting towards the end of her pregnancy, or up to 200 extra calories per day. That equates to adding one or two healthy snacks every day.
A healthy, balanced diet will provide you and your baby with many of the nutrients necessary for vigorous growth and development. Protein, iron, and calcium-rich foods are believed to help boost breast milk production. Consume foods like:Healthy fats: Avocados, olive oil, coconut, eggs, full-fat yoghurt
Breastfeeding mothers should never smoke, use illegal drugs, or consume alcohol. These drugs can harm your infant if they pass into your breastmilk.
