Breast-Feeding Support
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Aim for total nutrition | Breast-feeding women should eat a well-balanced diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, pulses, and fish while limiting refined sugars, white flour, and processed foods. | |
| Choose calcium-rich foods | Calcium and calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, leafy green vegetables, and tofu, are especially important during breast-feeding. | |
| Don’t forget EFAs | Eating foods that contain essential fatty acids, such as rape seed oil, corn oil, safflower oil, nut and seed oils, and fish, will ensure higher quantities of EFAs in the breast milk. | |
| Drink fluids | Drinking enough fluids to quench thirst is enough to support a healthy milk supply. | |
| Ensure adequate calories | Breast-feeding women need even more calories than pregnant women: most need about 2,800 calories per day to meet the energy needs of breast-feeding. |
