Which means that you have to no doubt already know, breast milk is the best milk for infants. And doctors advise that you can have about 500 extra calories daily while producing it. So yayy to newborns and eating anything you want, right? Well, not really.Youve got to consider the fact that basically, your toddler drinks what you eat. Which means that you have to watch what you eat. Your babys health depends on it.

Just because youre now a babys mother doesnt mean you cant have anything out of your diet plan, of course. Were sure your toddler wont mind the occasional indulgence. However, try to opt for nutritious snacks like idlis, yoghurt, poha and sandwiches made of leafy greens and wholemeal bread. Baked veggies or chicken, tuna, salmon, paneer cubes and steamed sprouts are some other healthy options. Oh and dont forget to drink plenty of water to help maintain your babys milk supply.

What you should eat
You can eat almost anything. Its best for your babys development to expose her to various foods early on via breast milk. However, a balanced diet is still essential. Newborns develop very fast provided theyre given nutrition that is apt for infants. Try to have more of whole grains, cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits.

It may still take from ten months to a year to return to your earlier weight. If you decide you want to get there earlier and start dieting, try to wait until at least till he gets out of those baby carriers. :-P
