Postpartum nutrition?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Nutrition during the postpartum period is important for both the mother's recovery and milk production. Breastfeeding mothers burn an extra 500-700 calories daily, so eating well is essential.
Key points:
- Fluids: 2.5-3 liters daily of water, yogurt drinks, broth, or herbal teas
- Protein: Eggs, meat, poultry, fish, legumes, yogurt
- Calcium: Milk, yogurt, cheese, leafy greens
- Iron: Red meat, molasses, dried fruits, spinach
- Healthy fats: Walnuts, almonds, olive oil
- Complex carbs: Whole grain bread, bulgur, oats
Avoid: excessive caffeine, gas-inducing foods (varies by person), and very spicy or fatty meals. Every mother's tolerance is different; observe which foods affect your baby and adjust accordingly.
