Many nursing moms are surprised to hear that what they eat and drink while they breastfeed is just as is important as what they ate and drank during pregnancy. Eating a well-balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, and drinking lots of water, is necessary to ensure that the nursing mom stays healthy and that she produces high quality breast milk for her growing baby.
The good news about breastfeeding is that you don’t have to eat specific foods to make high quality breast milk for your baby. Mothers from all over the world, eating many different diets, have all been nursing successfully for thousands of years. However, a healthy, balanced diet will increase the quality of your breast milk and will help you as well. Nutritious foods help you to heal from childbirth and give you more energy to meet the needs of your growing baby. Most doctors recommend that a nursing mom eat about 250 to 500 extra calories a day.
