I'm considering breastfeeding after birth. Are there any dietary choices I can make now to prepare my body for breastfeeding?

Focus on making healthy choices to help fuel your milk production. Opt for protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, and seafood low in mercury. Choose a variety of whole grains as well as fruits and vegetables.

Hi there, I hope you are well. A healthy well balanced diet before, during, and after pregnancy will help in making breastfeeding a happy and easy journey for you and the baby. Here's what you must do. - Incorporate fibre, protein, and Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet. - For fibre, vegetables, fresh fruits, wholegrains, beans, lentils are great. - For protein opt for, lean meat ( chicken, and low-mercury fishes), dairy and dairy products, eggs, beans, lentils, seeds, and nuts. - Omega 3 fatty acids can come from foods like fish, flaxseeds, olive oil, walnuts, avocado, canola oil, etc. If you have been suggested some supplements, please take those as well. - Eat seasonal fruits, and vegetables, drink enough water, include foods rich in folate, iron, Vitamin A, calcium, iodine because these will form a good foundation for good health. Bell peppers, carrots, tomato, sweet potatoes, diary , leafy greens, beans, lean meat, nuts, seeds are good sources. I hope this helps, Take care ✨
