The stage of lactation is another of the periods in which food plays a key role, especially if you are a vegetarian. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your diet and your baby.
There is no better food for your baby than breast milk. However, the nutritional composition of your diet affect your milk composition, especially vitamins. What they eat have a tremendous impact on the composition of milk fat. It is important to get enough omega-3 fatty acid during this period.
The two most common risks are the possible deficiencies in vitamin B12 and vitamin D. We recommend 2.8 mcg / day of B12 during lactation. During pregnancy and lactation must significantly increase your intake of nutrients instead increase your calorie intake only moderately, consuming about 2,500 calories a day.
Keep in mind that children’s nutritional needs are quite different from those of adults, to be growing rapidly as more require protein, fat, vitamins and minerals kilo weight in relation to adults. We must therefore move away from eating model designed for adults, focused on preventing degenerative diseases and a model approach that prioritises the optimal growth and development.
Until they are 3 years will grow at a good pace through breast milk, which is all they need in the first 6 months of life. Breast milk strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of developing allergies and the incidence of respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal, etc, while creating a bond with your child. It is very comfortable and affordable (always ready to milk the perfect temperature).
When the baby has 4-6 months of age should gradually introduce solid foods into your diet. It begins by introducing rice and barley, vegetables and fruit puree. It then continues with fruit juices. When your child is between 8 and 9 months, you begin with bits and pieces of fruit and bread, and is a year when you’re ready to eat your mashed vegan meals. See it if developed well by allergies, avoid salt and sugar, and intends that its biological supply is. Take care not to eat excessive amounts of fiber, avoid bran.
