Here’s the LIST OF TOP FOODS NEEDED TO SUPPORT BREASTFEEDING for high milk production & baby’s best development:
- Eggs - Fish (limit to 3 servings per week. Clear of high mercury seafood like tuna) - Yogurt
- Keifer
- Carrot - Cucumber - Hummus
- Nuts
- Beans (when passed through breast milk, they won’t give your baby gas)
- Spinach
- Kale
- Chia seeds
- Broccoli
- Oatmeal (avoid pre-packed, they tend to be high in sugar)
- Folic acid supplement
- Whole grain bread/pasta/rice (I have one serving of one per day)
- Blackstrap Molasses (best source of natural calcium. I add a teaspoon in my daily smoothie. Super important to keep your bones healthy and strong while breastfeeding)
*of course adapt the list to you & your baby’s requirements (dietary restrictions / intolerance).
