Diet recommended for lactating women 

Diet is undoubtedly the basis of good milk to feed the baby, but it is also essential to keep the mother with very good energy and arrangement, nurtured to facilitate postpartum recovery.

Fresh Fruits: all fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, but especially in fiber. Include them in your diet but prefer the papaya, apples, bananas and oranges, which are excellent at this time. The papaya, bananas and oranges are great in the morning and as first food, while apples and pears are perfect in the evening, help the bolus stay soft and evacuate more easily. It is important to get the most value for fruit, try not to combine them with other foods, eat them alone and always on an empty stomach and let it digest about 30 minutes. Do not combine with sweet acid fruits.

Fresh vegetables: essential to quality milk but also for your tissues to recover quickly. The best at the moment are the carrot, avocado (rich in vitamin E), the alfalfa sprouts and leaf, celery, parsley and beet.

Cereals: the best at this time are amaranth, oats, barley, brown rice and wheat.

Seeds, oil seeds and nuts: they are excellent source of minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, etc.)..
