• When you're Breastfeeding your nutritional needs increase, since your baby is depending on you to provide 100% of their nutrition. So extreme diets that cut out major food groups are a “no-no” as they miss out on key nutrients. Plus, we need all the energy we can get to cope with raising our little ones!

• The healthiest and safest way to lose weight when breastfeeding is to live a healthy lifestyle with healthy eating and regular exercise.

• One of the biggest barriers to losing weight is the time it takes to prepare healthy meals. Busy mums love our formulated meal replacement, the In Shape Mummy Health Shake because it is a quick and easy way to help them be healthy.

You don’t need a special diet while breastfeeding. But what you eat does need to be nutritionally balanced. You need extra nutrients when you are breastfeeding as your baby is depending on you for 100% of their nutrition. The top foods include: 1. Wholegrain, high-fibre foods, 2. Vegetables, 3. Legumes (beans, peas, and lentils), 4. Protein-rich foods (eggs, poultry, red meat, and fish. For vegetarians and vegans, tofu, chickpeas, lentils, and nuts). 5. Fruit, 6. Dairy products (almonds, yoghurt, cheese), 7. Healthy Fats (salmon, walnuts, flax, and chia seeds). Read more.

Try Feeding or Pumping More Often:

Our breasts produce milk in response to demand. So, you will naturally increase your milk supply by feeding more, expressing more, or combining both. Feed on demand rather than by a schedule.

Increase Skin-To-Skin Time:

Oxytocin is the hormone responsible for milk ejection, and spending time stripping down and making skin contact is one ofthe most powerful ways to trigger this hormone.

Take care of yourself: 

Your nutrition requirements are higher when you're breastfeeding. Your baby is relying on you for 100% of their nutrition. So, you need to try your best to eat enough food and not skip meals. Aim for a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, high protein foods and good sources of healthy fats. Avoid or limit junk food. Drink plenty of water and rest (as much as you can). In Shape Mummy superfoods are a quick and easy way to help you be healthy in this busy time of life.

If you are experiencing difficulties with milk supply, please consult your health care practitioner.
