Description
Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm addressing a question I'm often asked - 'What should I eat when I'm breastfeeding?' It's a really common questions pregnant and new mums ask me, not knowing that it's actually quite a complex answer. Although a seemingly innocuous question, what underlies it is doubt in their body’s ability to know how and how much milk to produce. I find this sad because it hints at the lack of confidence women have in themselves and lack of wisdom that should have been passed down from past generations of mothers and grandmothers about breastfeeding. So in today's episode I'm covering: Why you probably don't need to worry about your supply How breastmilk is made and how breastfeeding works Whether what you eat matters Specific nutrients that you might need to consider to support breastfeeding By the end of the episode you'll know what types of foods you might like to include in your daily diet during pregnancy and after giving birth - and the signs to look out for that might tell you things aren't going as well as they could.
