What to do if breast milk is not nutritious? Diet is the key to increase nutrition

We can see that some babies who are breastfed grow up well, are white and plump, which means that breast milk is nutritious. However, there are also some women whose breast milk has no effect, which makes the mothers very worried. In this case, they need to increase the nutrition of breast milk through diet.

1. The diet during lactation should refer to the recommended supply of my country's Nutrition Society, increase the supply of various nutrients, especially high-quality protein, calcium, zinc, iron, iodine and B vitamins, and pay attention to the appropriate proportion between each nutrient. For example, the heat supply ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrates should be 13%-15%, 27% and 58%-60% respectively.

2. Pay attention to the intake of calcium and vitamin D. If a nursing mother is calcium deficient, in order to ensure a constant calcium content in breast milk, her own bone calcium will be used, which will cause bone softening, osteoporosis, back and leg pain, etc.

3. The water-soluble fiber in breast milk, such as vitamins B1, B2, C, etc., may change due to changes in the content in the mother's diet; the same is true for fat-soluble vitamin A. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to reasonable supplementation in the diet of breastfeeding mothers.

4. A recent survey on Chinese mothers' breast milk shows that in addition to low calcium content, the fat content, zinc and DHA content are relatively low. You should increase the amount of edible oil, nuts, butter, animal fat, marine fish, etc. to promote the baby's brain development and retina formation, and improve immunity.

In addition, the sodium and chloride content in breast milk is significantly high, which is related to the excessive salt intake of the mother, which is not conducive to the kidney development of the newborn. Excessive salt intake should be avoided.

5. If mothers are picky eaters, especially vegetarians, and their nutrients are not comprehensive, it will have a negative impact on the baby's nutrition.
