Products for breastfeding Moms

A healthy, well-balanced meal plan that includes a variety of foods is the goal of a breastfeeding diet. Many of the foods that you eat will travel into your breast milk and can influence the composition, taste, and color of your milk. It is believed that breastfed babies get used to the taste of foods in their mother's diets, and even develop preferences for those types of foods later in life.

You can get all the nutrients you need every day by eating a variety of foods from the major food groups.

Meats: Beef, chicken, turkey, pork, fish, and seafood. Leaner cuts of meat are healthier and preferred over red meats, fried foods, hot dogs and deli meats.Fruits: Apples, oranges, bananas, pears, peaches, strawberries, grapes, melons, pineapples, grapefruits, fruit juices, canned fruit, and dried fruit. Eat a wide variety of fruits each day.
