Load Up on Protein: Snack on eggs, nuts, or yogurt to fuel milk production and keep you full.
Choose Healthy Fats: Add avocados, olive oil, or salmon to support baby’s brain development.
Boost Iron Intake: Eat spinach, red meat, or lentils to prevent fatigue and maintain energy.
Snack Often: Grab small, frequent snacks like fruit or granola bars to keep energy steady.
Limit Caffeine: Stick to 200 mg daily (about one coffee) to avoid making baby fussy.
Avoid Alcohol: Skip alcohol, as it can pass through milk and affect baby’s sleep or growth.
Try Lactation Foods: Include oats, fenugreek, or lactation cookies to naturally support supply.
Listen to Your Body: Eat when hungry, rest when tired, and enjoy foods that make you feel good.
