My name is Ana Bárbara Jannuzzi, I am a doctor, mother of three girls and I have this channel here to share health information for pregnant women and mothers of small babies, all based on evidence and I bring many practical tips. The first three months of a baby's life are exhausting for a mother, there is a lot of energy expenditure both due to breastfeeding and sleep deprivation, there are many changes happening and not eating properly can be a problem during this breastfeeding phase. Many women go on restrictive diets in the postpartum period, where they cannot eat anything to avoid colic in the baby and help with the healing of a cesarean section. This is not true, it is a MYTH! So if you are a mother and are going through the postpartum period depriving yourself of several things because of breastfeeding, BE CAREFUL. You need to have a balanced diet, consuming what you eat in your daily life and that is good for you. In addition to a balanced diet, with fruits, vegetables, good carbohydrates and proteins, you need to stay well hydrated. To produce milk, you need LOTS of water. I talked about the foods that can be consumed during the postpartum period and I also talked about the foods that are prohibited during this period and, surprisingly, there is no list of prohibited foods during the postpartum period, postpartum, confinement or breastfeeding. Evidence-based medicine has never found such a list, but in this video I give you practical tips for eating the right way during your postpartum period. If you have any questions about this video, write them in the comments and I will answer them ???? Follow me on Instagram @drajannuzzi Until the next video, a hug.
