Nutrition during breastfeeding - what is changing

What to eat while breastfeeding?

Did you know that the nutrients that the mother takes in through food and nutritional supplements are excreted in the milk and indirectly protect the infant during breastfeeding? The composition of the diet during breastfeeding does not have a great impact on the composition of milk, however, if the mother's diet is deficient in certain vitamins and minerals, the mother's reserves will be used for milk production, putting her in a nutritional deficit.

 

The benefits of mother's milk

 

Breast milk provides all nutrients and contains the ideal amount of fat, sugar, water, protein and other important substances that a child needs for optimal growth and development during the first 6 months of life. Experts recommend breastfeeding at least until the first year of a child's life, with complementary feeding recommended from the age of 6 months. The longer the child is breastfed, the greater the benefits, however, the duration of breastfeeding is usually individual and can only be realized as long as the mother-child team works.

 

It has been proven that breast milk provides protection against infections by transferring important antibodies that protect against disease and help develop the child's immune system.

 

In addition, it has been shown that children fed with mother's milk are less likely to suffer from allergies, ear infections, respiratory system diseases and urinary system infections.

Quality nutrition during the lactation period is important for proper milk production and quality. Special emphasis should be placed on the adequate intake of liquid, energy and nutrients, and this especially applies to women who exclusively breastfeed their infants, which is desirable until the 6th month of life. It is considered that women in the lactation period need an additional 500 kcal per day.

At the same time, the need for most vitamins and minerals increases, and the intake of beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids it is extremely important to ensure an adequate concentration of these precious fats in mother's milk. A breastfeeding diet should include as many fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, lean meat, dairy products and quality fats as possible.
