If the other side of your diet is inadequate, recovery and the ability to produce breast milk after birth, lasts longer, and if you still can not replenish your body stores during the birth, you must be a long time low. If you are breastfeeding, youvolume a bit 'because you eat for two. A nursing mother should continue to recommend high quality food to eat during pregnancy, lactation and created in order to maintain an adequate supply of breast milk. A poor diet, not only disturb the nutrient content in their milk, but can also reduce the amount of milk produced. This is probably the oldest why make a fuss to eat well, at the time of delivery.

2. Some foods carry the child to "wind" or loose stools. If you find that your child is suddenly very nervous, trying to thinkwhat we ate during the last 12 hours. Avoid foods that are looking for a couple of days and then again. If the same happens again, it is necessary that the introduction of certain foods for a while, 'and then in your diet, with a very small amount and see how baby reacts then slowly increase the volume, so a child learns to feed avoided.
3. You may find that your appetite is quite low, especially in the first week. This is usually because your body has to adjust its non-pregnant state, isphysically and mentally, so it is better than frequent small meals instead of the usual 3 large meals a day.
4. You must be a lot of fluids to drink enough milk, and that it is better to use this from sources such as nutritious soup or tea. Drinking water will be too easy to dilute the milk and therefore is not nutritious for the child.

Food for thought
It is not only refrain from Asian communities who support breastfeeding for mothers who eat fruits and vegetables, someWestern societies do the same. In my opinion, the reason to avoid fruits and vegetables, which contain some high-oxalate, which affect the absorption of calcium. Nursing mothers require a high intake of calcium for milk production enough.
With a high oxalate fruits – kiwi, guava, star fruit, blueberries, figs and strawberries
Oxalate-rich vegetables – tapioca, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, garlic, watercress, eggplant, leek, radish, chives, Ms. Finger, parsley andSpinach
Hint – blanching of fruits and vegetables can reduce the oxalate.
Low-oxalate fruits – papaya, langsat, banana, avocado, cherry, lemon, mango, melon, cantaloupe, ciku, Durian and apples peeled.
Low-oxalate vegetables – cauliflower, cabbage, kai lan petola,, peas, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, iceberg lettuce
Tip – If you love your fruits and vegetables and are concerned about the absorption of calcium, so it's best to guarantee yourMilk drink 3-4 hours before or after meals.
Avoid too much salt, since it reduced the production of milk. Eating fresh air can help a baby colic. Acidic foods may increase bleeding in the mother and infant diarrhea. What you eat also depends on what you believe and who cooks for you. I hope that the information above, you can click on your "cook" what is best for both of you say and your child.
