If you are breastfeeding, remember, you're still eating for two. Take care of yourself. This means eating regularly and not skipping meals or snacks. Choose healthy nutritious foods. Eat to maintain your energy levels, promote healing, produce enough milk if breastfeeding and help in taking off extra pounds.
Most women eat very well during pregnancy.
Try to keep up with this same healthy eating after delivery. After your delivery and especially when breastfeeding, your body needs more calcium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, vitamins A, B6, C, D and zinc. Fat-soluble vitamins can build up and reach toxic levels if consumed in large doses.
