Breastfeeding diet
Hello mummies, just wanted to ask if formula is better than breast milk if my diet is not that healthy? Like I order food delivery for most my meals so its really quite difficult to have a very healthy diet and my cravings are usually not very healthy e.g bubble tea, fast food, instant noodles etc. Although i do eat salmon, cod fish, oats and fruits at times but I'm not sure if its enough? I read online and the results vary. Thanks all!!
Breast milk has its advantage over formula milk. If I read your post carefully, I am more concerned about your diet. Occasional indulgence into bubble tea, fast food and instant noodle are acceptable but if this is your regular diet, I would suggest a change. I think it's a win-win for you and baby if u can switch your diet to healthier options and at the same time able to produce better quality breast milk to your baby.
Read moreBreastmilk is almost always better because you give your baby protective antibodies. This is regardless of the type of food you eat. However if you’re taking a lot of alcohol or medicines that are not compatible with breastfeeding, then formula is better
Bm is better than fm regardless of the moms diet. Actually bm nutrition is largely the same regardless if the mom takes a good or bad diet. Your body will draw nutrients from your baby for bm.. If your diet is not so good, do eat supplement your minerals.
A mom's diet is unlikely to affect the breastfed baby, it'll only affect the mom. It's always good to breastfeed! This article may explain: https://kellymom.com/nutrition/mothers-diet/mom-diet/
Read moreNo, bm is always the best! If your diet is unhealthy, your body will get nutrients from your body to provide for the baby.. So it is the moms body that will suffer, do eat more healthly
Actually no matter what you eat bm is still better than fm. If you went on Google even a mother who smoke its still better to bf. So what will think about diet?
Your diet will not affect the baby imo. The baby will get the same nutrients from you no matter what you eat. It will only affect your own health.
breast milk is still best..pls take care of your own health too. baby is actually taking ur body's calcium & iron storage. u must replenish them.
Personally I would continue breastfeeding. If you feel the nutrients are not adequate you can opt to take multivitamins.
I am taking fish oil, multivitamin, calcium and probiotics! Just in case my diet not healthy enough:(
Everytime I asked about my baby diet, paeds will return me a question "are you happy with your baby weight?" 😄
Same like mine, 25th percentiles but doctor said it's not a concern😊i see my boy is very active too. So should be alright. Maybe he inherited the slim gene..
