Fitness by Dr. Sneh our lactation meal plans are tailored to help you produce breast milk, heal postpartum, and maintain energy levels high throughout this lovely but exhausting stage of motherhood. Breastfeeding is one of the most powerful ways to support a baby’s early growth, immunity, and emotional bonding, but it also places significant nutritional demands on the mother. During the lactation phase, a mother’s body needs extra calories, protein, and hydration to maintain her own strength and produce sufficient breast milk. A well-balanced breastfeeding diet not only helps in improving the quantity and quality of breast milk but also speeds up postpartum recovery, balances hormones, and boosts the mother’s energy and immunity. However, many women face challenges like low milk supply due to hormonal imbalances, poor nutrition, high stress levels, lack of sleep, or infrequent feeding. That’s why focusing on a nutrient-rich diet during lactation is essential.
