1.Eat Lots of Superfoods
It’s tempting to eat whatever’s handy, but you need serious nutrition — especially if you’re nursing. Choose high-protein foods like lean meat, chicken, and beans. And you need calcium, which you can get from low or non-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese. Fish like salmon and trout are great «superfoods,” too — they’re packed with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that’s good for your baby.
2.Better Snacking
Snacking is OK, as long as you eat healthy snacks and cut back on ones that are high in fat and sugar. Choose snacks like fresh or canned fruit or unsweetened cereal over sugary soft drinks, candy, and chips. They’re full of extra calories without much nutrition. Have your healthy snacks on hand when you breastfeed.
