The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and–who can forget–delicious food. As a breastfeeding mom, you might wonder how to indulge in festive treats without compromising your milk supply. Let’s dive into some holiday food tips that are safe and nourishing for both you and your baby.
Hydration, Hydration, Hydration
Drink Plenty of Water: Staying hydrated with good old water is crucial, especially during the colder months when our bodies tend to dehydrate faster.
Herbal Teas: Warm herbal teas like chamomile and peppermint can be soothing and hydrating. Avoid caffeinated beverages: As much as you may feel the need for energy, excessive caffeine can affect your milk supply.
Avoid alcohol: Don’t overdo it with the holiday cocktails when you are breastfeeding or pumping for your baby.
Nourishing Foods
Complex Carbohydrates: Opt for whole grains like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and quinoa. These provide sustained energy and essential nutrients that will make the holidays more enjoyable for you and your little.
Lean Protein: Be intentional about your protein intake each day. Incorporate lean protein sources like chicken, fish, beans, and lentils to support milk production.
Healthy Fats: This one is something you are likely to find on some holiday food spreads. Look to include healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil to promote hormone balance.
Fruits and Vegetables: You are likely to find an inviting fruit and veggie tray at most events. Load up on colorful plants to boost your vitamin and mineral intake.
Holiday Treats in Moderation
Indulge Wisely: While being intentional about the good stuff mentioned previously, it is equally important to tune into the treats on your tray. This doesn’t mean to avoid them completely, but enjoy goodies in moderation. Overindulging in sugary and fatty foods can lead to digestive issues and affect your milk supply.
Homemade Options: Consider making healthier versions of holiday treats using whole-grain flours, natural sweeteners, and less sugar.
Eat in Advance: Here is a little trick if you know you are headed to an event that is bound to tempt you with treats: don’t show up hungry! Eat something nourishing before the party, like a protein shake or a colorful salad, compete with healthy fats and proteins. When you do indulge, you will know you balanced it with something beneficial for the body.
