Just wondering while I am BF what I have to pay attention to with my diet. Are there similar restrictions as pregnancy such as no sushi/caffeine/lunch meat, etc? Or not really. I know that what you eat could make the baby gassy so be wary of some of that, but anything else? Just curious-cant wait for first spicy tuna roll!
Re: STM-question abt BF!
I second this.
I was exhausted, and really had to make myself eat even when I wasn?t hungry, and keeping up my liquid intake was a constant battle for me . As it was I still had supply issues as I knew I just wasnt eating or drinking nearly enough.I had to supplement with formula the whole time I was breastfeeding
I?m normally just a one meal a day girl, and I dont snack. I?ll have a coffee in the morning, a small cup of juice and that will be it liquid wise till I eat my evening meal. I do drink a large glass of water thru the night tho. It?s the way Ive been since I was a teen, I?m 37 now, and after so many years it?s what my body is used to, but it sure isnt conducive to breasfeeding.
I hope to do much better this time round.
This! Personally I stayed caffeine free, but otherwise I ate whatever I wanted.
