Diet Chart for Breastfeeding Mothers


What to eat while breastfeeding 
Your body and your habits change when you get pregnant, and they change again after you give birth. There is, however, one thing that doesn’t change after you give birth: the importance of eating a healthy diet.

If you’re breastfeeding your new baby, you probably have several questions about your diet like what should I eat or what should I exclude from my food habits? How much should I eat while breast feeding?

It’s true that nutrients from the food taken by the mother come through the milk produced. But you don’t have to worry if you have eaten something new. The good news is that your body knows exactly what nutrition your baby needs at every stage of development. But you should avoid highly spicy food as it can influence quality of mil produced.



A breast feeding mum should eat the following
Ø  Include protein foods 2-3 times per day such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, nuts and seeds.
Ø  Eat two servings of fruit per day.
Ø  Include salads and vegetables in your food
Ø  Drink water more. Many moms find more thirst while breast feeding
Ø  If you avoid meat, make sure you eat other sources of iron and zinc such as dried beans, dried fruit, nuts, seeds and dairy.



How much you should eat while breastfeeding
Your body needs extra calories while breast feeding. Approximately you need 600 calories a day. After introducing solid food to your baby, the demand for breast feeding lowers so milk supply also. At that time you can cut the calories.



Things to avoid
Ø  Alcohols and caffeine
Ø  Chocolates
Ø  Spices
Ø   Decrease the consumption of "gassy" veggies-onion, cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers
