Nutrition While Breastfeeding
Many new mothers worry about what to eat especially if they are breastfeeding their new babies. A simple thing to remember is that there is nothing you can't eat/drink during breastfeeding as long as you are consuming everything in balance. Similar to most things in life everything is okay in moderation. But there ARE specific foods, herbs and drinks that are said to help with milk supply and nutrition while breastfeeding.
Some of my favorites are:
-Quinoa
-Barley
-Kale
-Cabbage
-Carrots/Carrot Juice
-Proteins such as eggs, nuts, raisins & lean meats
It is important to eat as much natural food (foods that have not been processed) as possible. Try going shopping and cooking food such as a nice soup or quinoa dish to last the week. Ask for help from family members if necessary as to try to avoid pulling things out of the freezer for meals.
Listen to your body and watch to see if you notice a change in your baby's mood after you eat or drink certain items such as dairy, or caffeine.
Remember: It's all about balance!
Happy Breastfeeding!

Pregnancy & Nutrition
I think nutrition is one of the most underestimated ways you can help yourself and your baby during pregnancy. It is extremely important to eat well during pregnancy. Nutrition will effect how you feel, how your baby feels, your energy level, your health, your overall pregnancy and your BIRTH.
But what does eating right really mean?
Check out the Dr. Brewer Pregnancy diet: http://www.drbrewerpregnancydiet.com/id96.html
This is a great diet to follow during pregnancy.
For what NOT to eat, read this article called 7 Foods So Unsafe Even Farmers Won't Eat Them
It is okay to give in to your cravings but try to stay eating as healthy has possible. As with any "diet" there can be challenges but it is all about self control. Try to remind yourself that everything you eat your baby is also eating...this can help you stay on track!
