Following a healthy eating plan will provide you with the energy you need to recover from delivery and to breastfeed successfully. Good nutrition, combined with regular exercise, will help you to return to a healthy weight after pregnancy.
While breastfeeding it is no time to embark on a low fat, low calorie diet. Your body needs extra calories and fluids during lactation, with the recommended daily allowance of nutrition’s for lactating women including:
- 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, pasta, rice
- 2-4 servings of fruit
- 3-5 servings of vegetables
- 2-3 servings of meat, fish, poultry, eggs
- 2-3 servings of mild or other dairy products
- Up to three liters of water a day
If you aren’t eating in this way, you may want to consider a supplement. Poor diet affects the quality and quantity of your breast milk. Eating a healthy, balanced diet will ensure that your baby gets all the nutrients it needs from your milk. Breast milk is often deficient in vitamin D and iron, and you may need to consider supplementing your intake of these nutrients. In vegetarian mothers, breast milk may also lack adequate supplies of vitamin B12. The Herbalife Nutritional Shake does have al the nutrients your body need in one meal. It is safe to use while pregnant and breastfeeding. Please contact your doctor first before you do change any diet while pregnant or breasfeeding.
