Yes you can limit your calories but have to replace them with milk. you can add green tea 2 cups per day, and 1 lemon daily if you are not sensitive.
yes, it's time to start weaning.give him semi solid foods like bnana boiled mashed potato yogurt etc.
as for as your matter is concerned, you need 500 extra calories than your normal requirements during period of lactation.starving effects milk production.
you can take the condiments like cinnamon or curry patta.but consume lemon by diluting it
yes but don't limit too much. take a healthy eating diet plan. it will help you reduce weight and won't effect your milk. herbs are good to have but take half lemon in diluted form right now
Set your weight goals after fair assessment. Plus there is phase wise weaning introduction that is recommended. 6 to 8 liquid to semi solid and afterward texture selection increases. It is okay to use Nutraceutical herbs but till when you BF you should take nearly 400 to 500 Kcal extra to your basic needs.
Dear patient
First off, why do you want to limit calories? And yes, you can eat or drink everything, there are no side effects but then it varies from individual to individual, so you should take one of thosethings at a time and check if your baby shows any unusual symptoms.
You still need energy to meet RDA cutting with lead to weakness its important for mother to be nourished to provide adequate nutrition to baby
instead of limiting your calorie intake try taking nutrient dense diet + brisk walk for 190 mins per week and if your milk production is less use cumin seeds( zeera) on every food you eat and yess you could use lemon, cinnamon in green tea but not more than ½ cup
Yes you can limit your food intake now.and try to take high nutritional value foods like pop corns ,pulses, beans etc less carb and more proteins. Kindly take ur appointment so
Discuss in details .cox it’s best time for weight loss and crucial time too because of breastfeeding
