Nursing mother diet list — I'm really confused about this, what should I do?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

It's completely natural to feel confused about nutrition while nursing — everyone says something different. But there's a simple rule: A nursing mother doesn't need an extra special "diet list."

What you need to do is eat a balanced diet: protein (eggs, meat, chicken, fish, legumes), complex carbs (whole wheat bread, bulgur, oats), vegetables, and some healthy fat (olive oil, avocado, walnuts) at each meal. Drink plenty of water — at least 2.5-3 liters a day. Restrictive, single-food, or rapid weight-loss diets can reduce milk supply.

If your baby doesn't show gas, discomfort, or skin rashes, you don't need to eliminate any food from the start. If there's such a sign, cow's milk and caffeine are the two most common triggers; you can try cutting them out for 2 weeks and observe. But definitely check with your pediatrician first.

In short: not a special list, just a healthy and enjoyable plate — that's all.
