What are the special dietary needs for breastfeeding?
Posted by: Women Health in NutritionYour caloric consumption can be increased to 2000-2200 calories a day. This quantity accounts for the amount consumed by your breastfeeding baby. Don’t forget about protein and calcium, which are in higher demand during lactation. Drink healthy fluids, including pure water, milk, fruit juices, vegetable juices and soups. Unless your physician tells you otherwise, take prenatal vitamin supplements, which are still helpful during breastfeeding.
There are a lot of products your baby develops an allergic reaction on. In this case, you should adjust what you’re eating. Common food allergens include: cow’s milk, eggs, wheat, fish citrus.
For a cow’s milk allergy, meet your calcium needs through other high calcium foods, such as: kale, broccoli, watercress, salmon, turnip greens, almonds, and sardines.
