Food Choices And Breastfeeding! As always, even though we have a topic/theme for our connection our priority is to meet the needs of those present. Bring you questions or concerns and enjoy a connection with other parents.
No matter whether you are just starting your nursing journey, or your baby is showing signs that they are "all done" with nursing, nutrition for yourself and baby is always on a parent's mind. At this meeting, we will discuss and share the many resources around nutrition for the family.
Around the world nursing mothers eat the foods of their culture. Your baby is introduced to the taste of the foods you eat while he is still inside your body. Once he is born, the flavours of the food you eat will pass into your milk. This introduces your baby to the tastes from your family table long before he begins solid food. This “sampling” of these tastes through your milk encourages your baby to accept them when they are put on his plate. So go ahead and enjoy the spices, garlic and onions you love! Your baby will enjoy them too!
We'll discuss common questions such as: do you or baby need additional vitamins while breastfeeding? Will the foods that I eat bother my baby? https://www.lllc.ca/food-choices-while-breastfeeding
Have you heard of La Leche League's lending library https://www.lllc.ca/form/registration-for-lllc-library? There are some terrific resources on nutrition available:
