Breastfeeding? Heres how to tweak your diet for our Feel Great Weight plan.<\/p>\n

Slightly increase your calories.<\/strong> Aim to get 300-500 extra calories per day.<\/p>\n

Up your intake of H20.<\/strong> To keep from becoming dehydrated (which can lead to a decrease in milk production), drink an extra two quarts of water per day.<\/p>\n

Limit caffeine and alcohol.<\/strong> They can be passed on to your baby through your milk.<\/p>\n

Watch your vitamins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Vitamin C: Since much of what you take in passes right back out through your breast milk, you need to get 120 mg (vs. the usual 85 mg) per day. Good sources: red peppers, oranges, broccoli, strawberries, kiwi, tomato soup, cantaloupe.<\/li>\n
Vitamin A: You lose a lot of this through breastfeeding as well, so aim for 1300 micrograms per day (vs. the usual 700 micrograms). Some examples: spinach, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and kale. <\/li>\n
Omega-3s. Your babys brain needs DHA, a key omega-3 fatty acid found in fish and fish oil<\/a> supplements, to develop properly. Since your milk is your babys only source of nutrients (at least during the first few months), youll want to get at least 200 mg per day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
