In general, you may eat anything you like once the baby arrives, of course you need to continue observing the dietary guidelines for adults. Naturally, if you gained a bit too much weight (which often occurs and is absolutely nothing to be stressed out about) during pregnancy, you may want to stay away from fattening foods until your normal figure has returned.
MoonDragon's Weight Control Suggestions
If you are breastfeeding, continue to follow the nutritional guidelines you received during your pregnancy (including your nutritional supplements), plus go easy on alcohol and continue not smoking. You will still need about 600 calories a day more than a regular adult diet. This can be an 8 ounce glass of 2% milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Breastfeeding moms will find that they will lose excess body weight faster than their non-breastfeeding counterparts since the caloric requirements are greater with breastfeeding. Discuss specific dietary concerns with your midwife or health care provider.
MoonDragon's Client Handouts about nutrition and diet for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers are available at the links below. Examples of sample diets and menus are given, including some holistic suggestions. Nutritional analysis for various foods and nutritional therapy information is also available.
