Nutritious choices for breastfeeding moms
It’s important to meet your nutritional requirements during breastfeeding. Adequate calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals are essential. Here are some ideas for nutritious meals and snacks:
- Nutritious breakfasts include whole grain cereal or bread, fruits, low-fat milk, yogurt.
- Smart snacks include whole fruit, dried fruit, fresh vegetables, 100% fruit or vegetable juice, no-fat or low-fat popcorn, a bagel topped with peanut butter and banana.
- Wholesome lunches or dinners can include crispy salads with dressing on the side, or steamed vegetables, grilled fish, poultry and lean meats, or lightly sauced pastas.
