Which foods are recommended, and which should be avoided?

Therefore, it is worth remembering that the diet of the breastfeeding mother should be a little bit more calorific, especially since the daily portion of food for the baby is about 300-700 kcal, released by the mother's body. It is therefore recommended to increase the caloric intake by about 500 kcal per day.
