Raw and Breastfeeding--The Best Diet for me

Date: June 05, 2007 04:54PM I am a long time vegan who just had a baby. I was raw before my pregnancy but couldn't stick to it during. Now that my beautiful baby boy is here I am going back to raw. I breastfeed and I want to make sure I am getting all of the proper nutrients, vitamins, etc for my baby. What should I be eating?
Thanks for your feedback! Peace “I have given you every herb baring seed… to you it shall be for food.” Re: Raw and Breastfeeding--The Best Diet for me

Date: June 05, 2007 10:15PM i found that mostly fruits
with dates spinach olive and coconut oils and then more fruits and the occasional dehydrated bread/cracker or nut butter really kept me going well. i do confess to occasional (once a week) cooked potatoes, and a few non-vegan items. but my milk production did great on the fruit. juiced or whole frozen (and sorbeted) or fresh but i needed a TON of calories. seriously, 3,000 a day would probably be close, though i never measured. and that's with minimal exercise (walking a couple miles a day, and playing w/baby) peace- Re: Raw and Breastfeeding--The Best Diet for me

Date: June 07, 2007 12:20AM I've only been doing the raw thing about 6 weeks, but my milk supply was excellent with fruits, dates, nuts and coconut, flax seeds, and a huge salad with a full head of romaine every day. I'm eating a higher percentage of fats right now than usual and I don't think I'm as "full" as I was when eating mostly fruits.
My baby is 8 months old and doesn't eat solids so I'm having to make a ton of milk. I haven't noticed a real drop in supply at any point. It's really hot in Oklahoma now, so my main concern is me getting enough water to make up for all I'm sweating out. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
