Breastfeeding Nutrition:
-A non-vegan, non-vegetarian diet with complete proteins (healthier for both breastfed babies and Moms)
-1,000 milligrams of calcium per day
-Post-natal care should include tracking iron levels, as delivering a baby can deplete iron through bloodloss
-8 glasses of water per day, as breastfeeding can dehydrate the nursing Moms
-Debittered Brewer's Yeast With Added B12
(Still doesn't taste very good, but better in capsule/tablet forms)
-Omega 3-fatty acid DHA
