Pregnancy and breastfeeding are the most special phases in a woman's life. Her nutritional requirements change drastically during these periods. But unfortunately it has been often seen that the family takes much more care of a woman’s diet during pregnancy than during breastfeeding.
Even the woman herself gets so engrossed into her new life - with a newborn, that she keeps her own health on second priority.
However, it is important to understand that needs of energy, protein and other nutrients after delivery have not gone down, in fact have increased. The nutrients passed on to the child during breastfeeding will come either from the mother’s diet or her own body reserves. Women who do not get enough energy and nutrients from their diets, are at of risk maternal depletion.
Consume foods rich in:
- Energy : Cereals (Wheat, Rice, Millets, Bread, Oats etc.), Oils/Fats
- Proteins : Milk, Milk Products, Fish, Meat, Poultry, Pulses, Nuts
- Vitamins/Minerals: Seasonal fruits and vegetables
What else needs attention in planning a diet:
- Calcium requirements increase to maintain enough calcium in the breast milk. Consume Milk and milk products, gingelly (til) seeds and Green leafy vegetables like mustard greens and broccoli.
- Consume plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. In fact, a glass of liquid (milk, water, juice) should be consumed each time the baby is breastfed.
- Caffeinated beverages like tea, coffee and cola should be consumed in moderation, not more than 2 cups per day.
- Alcohol should not be consumed, as it reaches the baby from mother’s milk.
