Breastfeeding Nutri Tip

• Hydrate more than usual: Always carry a thermos with you and drink water every time your baby breastfeeds; don't wait until you're thirsty.

• Increase your calcium needs: Some rich sources of calcium include dairy products, almonds, tofu, leafy green vegetables, and sardines.

• Eat enough food; this isn't the time to follow a strict diet.

• Eat foods rich in vitamin C and iron: These aid in postpartum recovery and strengthen the immune system.
