3, more vegetables and less sweets
Nutritionists believe that eating more vegetables and adjusting the diet can help mothers lose weight. Lactating mothers can reduce some of the staple food and fill them with plenty of vegetables. Cooked and cold vegetables are large in size, full stomach, and rich in dietary fiber and micronutrients, which are very important for mother and son. At the same time, breastfeeding mothers should eat less sweets, such as cakes, sweet drinks and so on.
4, eat more grains
Nutritionists suggest that lactating mothers can replace white rice flour for dinner with congee cooked from miscellaneous grains and beans, and recommend preferential use of millet, oats, red beans, black rice and other ingredients. Vitamin B1 in these miscellaneous grains improves the quality of breast milk and benefits babies, including dietary fiber, which also helps prevent constipation.
