Nutrition for breastfeeding?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The quality and quantity of breast milk depend on the mother's adequate and balanced nutrition. Taking approximately 500 extra calories per day (compared to pre-pregnancy intake) and drinking plenty of fluids (2-3 liters of water daily) are basic needs. Protein sources (eggs, meat, legumes), whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats (olive oil, walnuts) should be part of your daily meals. It's important to limit caffeine to 1-2 cups a day, avoid alcohol, and not use herbal teas or other supplements during breastfeeding without your doctor's advice. You'll know your baby is getting enough milk by her having 6-8 wet diapers daily, steady weight gain, and being alert and active during awake times.
