Healthy eating
Many mothers wonder if they should follow a special diet during lactation, but the answer is no. You can take the same number of calories you've done before becoming pregnant, which helps you lose weight after birth. There are no foods to avoid. In fact, you can still eat foods that are important to your family - the special foods that you know and love.
As for how your diet affects your baby, there are no special foods that will help you as much milk. You may find that certain foods cause stomach problems for your baby. You can try to avoid these foods to see if your child feels better and ask your child's doctor to help you.
Keep these important nutrition tips in mind:
Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated (but fluid intake does not affect the amount of breast milk do). Drink when you're thirsty and drink more fluids if urine is dark yellow. A common proposal is to drink a glass of water or other drinks always breastfeed. Limit drinks that contain added sugar, such as soft drinks and fruit drinks.
Drinking a moderate amount (up to 2 to 3 cups per day), coffee or other caffeinated beverages do not pose a problem for most babies breastfeeding. Too much caffeine can cause the child to be picky or not sleep well.
Vitamin and mineral supplements can not replace a healthy diet. In addition to healthy food choices, some women who are breastfeeding need a multivitamin and mineral supplements. Talk with your doctor whether you need a supplement.

A baby can be allergic to breast milk?
Studies have shown that breast milk is only slightly affected the food we eat. Breastfeeding can eat what they ate during their lives and do not need to avoid certain foods. Kids love the taste of food that passes through breast milk. Sometimes the child may be sensitive to some food, such as dairy products like milk and cheese. The child has symptoms of an allergy or sensitivity to something that you eat contains some or all of the following:
Green stools with mucus and / or blood, diarrhea, vomiting
Rash, eczema (EG-ZUH-muh), dermatitis, urticaria, dry skin
Minutes during and / or after feedings
Crying for long periods without being able to feel comforted
Sudden awakening with discomfort
Wheezing or coughing
Babies are very sensitive to foods tend to react to the mother eat in minutes or four to 24 hours. These signs do not mean the baby is allergic to milk itself, just for something to eat. If you stop eating whatever is bothering your baby or eat less of it, the problem usually goes away by itself. You can also talk with your child's doctor about any symptoms. If your baby has trouble breathing, call 911 or go to the emergency room.
Vegan
If you follow a vegan diet, or do not contain any form of animal protein, you or your child can not get enough vitamin B12 in your body. This can also happen if you eat meat, but not enough. In a child, this can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, slow motor development, is very tired, muscle weakness, vomiting, and vascular problems. You can protect the health of your child, and taking supplements of vitamin B12 during lactation. Talk to your doctor about your need for vitamin B12.
Fitness
An active lifestyle helps you stay healthy, feel better and have more energy. Does not affect the quality or quantity of milk or your baby's growth. If your breasts are large and heavy, it may help to wear a comfortable bra or sports bra and pads if you miss during the year. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids. Be sure to tell your doctor how and when to start exercising slowly after the birth of your baby.
