I guess it's all in moderation. I have days where we have McDonald's for lunch or dinner, and then days when I eat nothing but whole grains, fruits, and veg. I'm sure it all balances out somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351192 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:46:30 +0000 sarac 351192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In making your breastmilk, your body takes what it needs. So if you eat a crummy diet, it's more your health that suffers. The flavor of the things you eat gets transmitted in your milk, which is pretty cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351140 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:14:03 +0000 Andrea 351140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: yeah, just wondering what makes it into the breastmilk. Would be nice if it doesn't include the junk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351136 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:09:41 +0000 prettylizy 351136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly healthy with a peppering of splurges and treats. I could eat better I know that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351134 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:08:22 +0000 cvbee 351134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure the breastmilk will find what it needs from your body, so if you aren't eating healthy, your body will be robbed, not your baby. </p> <p>I eat mixed. Maybe not as healthy as before baby. I eat healthy, and then I let myself eat desserts on top of that, which I never would before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351083 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:42:22 +0000 erwoo 351083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat terribly! :( But I do try to eat semi-healthy when I can. Hard to do when I have to feed two kids now. Sometimes I eat while I'm preparing their food. I miss sitting down to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351069 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:20:06 +0000 blackbird 351069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>seems like if you eat like TOTAL crap, it's probably not that great :P But i think most breastfeeding moms eat pretty reasonable because the baby doesn't tolerate it well otherwise, right? I mean, everyone has crap eating days, but if you don't eat like that every day, no harm, no foul </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-351001 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:33:08 +0000 Boogs 351001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same diet I always have. The occasional splurge, but most days I had a good amount of grains, proteins, fruits, and veggies. Plus I took vitamins, so I figured it helped, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-350999 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:29:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 350999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on a pretty vast elimination diet so I generally eat pretty good.... My problem is eating enough &amp; getting enough fat.</p> <p>As for breastmilk &amp; diet, your body will take nutrients from you to ensure breastmilk isn't lack. Pretty much you're the one that pays for not eating well or enough. That's also part of the reason you're supposed to continue taking your prenatal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-350990 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:21:48 +0000 pastemoo 350990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. But everything in moderation--so some junk on occasion is allowed. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-350974 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:12:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 350974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have the time to eat well because of my jobs and running a house and parenting a baby. I try my best, but I have dinosaur nugget and tater tot days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-do-you-have-a-healthy-diet#post-344247 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:00:00 +0000 Andrea 344247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People always say breastmilk is best, but isn't this dependent on the individual mom's diet? Is it still best if the mom has a poor diet? I didn't always have time to eat very well while I was breastfeeding. </p>
