What type of foods should a breastfeeding mother consume

What type of foods should a breastfeeding mother consume?

Breast milk is a storehouse of all vital nutrients. You should focus on consuming a nutrient and calorie-dense diet. If you consume a deficit diet, your own body reserves will start depleting. The body consumes 1100-1200kcal/d energy in milk production. Make sure your food is energy-dense too.

There are certain foods that enhance milk production called LACTOGENIC FOODS.

Some most common foods are:

  1. Fenugreek and fennel seeds
  2. Whole grains like oats, barley
  3. Yellow and red, orange root vegetables like pumpkin
  4. Nuts.
  5. Green leafy vegetables.
  6. Oils and Ghee.
