Diet for Nursing Mothers
|
|
The diet during this period should simply be a continuation of the healthy dietary choices made during pregnancy. A well-balanced meal which provides all the necessary nutrients is more beneficial than one which merely provides more energy due to the addition of lots of 'ghee'.
Be sure to include plenty of vegetables, green leaves, fruits along with whole grains and legumes and foods high in calcium to provide all the different nutrients required.
