The Breastfeeding Diet

The Breastfeeding Diet

Like eating well during pregnancy, eating well while breastfeeding entails getting the right balance of good food.

It's the couch potato's dream - burning up the calories of a five-mile run without leaving your lounge chair. And guess what? That dream is your reality now that you're breastfeeding your little tater tot.

It's true - milk production burns 500 calories a day, which means that when you're breastfeeding, you'll get to eat an extra 500 calories a day (up from your pre-pregnancy numbers) to meet that need - just one of the many benefits of breastfeeding.

Hello, potato chips? Not exactly. Quality matters as much as quantity, especially if you expect to stay vertical during those long postpartum days (and even longer nights). The good news is that you're an old pro at eating well - what with all the practise you've had for the past nine months during your pregnancy.

The even better news is that eating well while breastfeeding is very much like eating well while expecting (see The Pregnancy Diet), with (best news of all) slightly more relaxed rules.

You'll still be aiming for plenty of healthy foods and steering clear of the less healthy ones (though there's more leeway for indulgences). Plus, while calories definitely count, you still won't need to count them - just follow the Breastfeeding Diet as best you can:

What to eat

Like eating well during pregnancy, eating well while breastfeeding entails getting the right balance of good (and good for you) food. Try to get the following each day:

Protein: three servings

Calcium: five servings (that's an increase from your pregnancy requirement of four)

Iron-rich foods: one or more servings

Vitamin C: Two servings

Green leafy and yellow vegetables, yellow fruits: Three to four servings

Other fruits and veggies: One or more servings

Whole-grain and other concentrated complex carbohydrates: Three or more servings

High-fat foods: Small amounts - you don't need as much as you did during pregnancy

Eight cups of water, juice, or other non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic beverages

DHA-rich foods to promote baby's brain growth (look for it in wild salmon and sardines, as well as DHA-enriched eggs)

Prenatal vitamin daily

What not to eat

Here's the great news: When you're breastfeeding, there's a lot more that can be on the menu than off. But (and here's the less great news), with caveats. It's fine to pop open the cork on that pinot noir you've been pining for (or flip the top on that ale you've been aching for) - but within limits.

Time to pick up your coffee habit where you left off? Depends on how hefty your habit was - more than a cup or two can make junior jittery (and keep you both from getting any sleep). As for safe foods after pregnancy, it's okay to reel in the sushi again, although you should continue to avoid high-mercury fish such as shark, tilefish, and mackerel, and to limit those that may contain moderate amounts of that heavy metal.

What to watch out for

If you have a family history of allergies, it's probably wise to avoid peanuts and foods that contain them (and possibly other highly allergic foods, such as tree nuts - check with the doctor). Also watch out for herbs - even some seemingly innocuous herbal teas. Stick to reliable brands and choose flavours that are considered safe during lactation, including orange spice, peppermint, raspberry, red bush, chamomile, and rosehip.

Read labels carefully to make sure other herbs haven't been added to the brew, and drink them only in moderation. And when it comes to sugar substitutes, aspartame is probably a better bet than saccharine (only tiny amounts of aspartame pass into breast milk), but sucralose is considered safe and a good all-round, low-calorie sugar substitute.

What to watch your baby for

A few mums find that their own diet affects their babies' tummies and temperaments. While what you eat does indeed change the taste and smell of your milk (that happens for all mothers), that's actually a good thing, since it exposes your baby to many different flavours. But some babies can be sensitive to certain foods.

If you suspect that something in your diet is turning baby off his or her feed (or turning his or her tummy), try eliminating the food for a few days to gauge the response. Some of the more common troublemakers are cow's milk, eggs, fish, citrus fruits, nuts and wheat.

Things to take note..hehehehehhe...

TEENS & TWEENS
By CHARIS PATRICK
We all know that boys and girls are different ... it is stating the obvious. In my home, when I ask my boy to bring a cup from the kitchen, I probably have to ask a few times before he’d comply and then he’d just leave it on the table.

When I ask my daughter for the same thing, she would bring the cup straight away and ask: “Do you want some water?”

There may be feminist movements or gender equality campaigns but ask any parent and they can tell you that boys will be boys. They are filthy but adorable, naughty yet angelic, strong yet helpless. Boys are an intriguing bundle of contradictions, especially during their teenage years.

Clinical psychologist and author Anthony E. Wolf says: “Once adolescence begins, teenage boys go to their rooms, close the door, turn on the stereo, and come out four years later. Be reassured: It’s not anything they’re doing wrong, it’s just a natural (and annoying) part of a boy’s adolescence.”

One mother describes her teenage boy as “living in the land of the “Four I’s,” – acting as if he is “Invulnerable, Invincible, Immortal and Infertile – taking huge risks on a daily basis. What could be more challenging than that?

Why does this happen? Teen boys suddenly find themselves trying to live up to a huge new level of social responsibility. They are expected to “be a man,” to become leaders, wage earners, and models of self-sufficiency. They are expected to succeed in the working world, to be the risk-takers in initiating social and dating relationships, yet remain sensitive and open to females as equals and partners.

Because they feel totally unprepared to meet these challenges, the result can be either fight or flight, which translates into aggression and rebellion, or retreat and withdrawal.
Getting through to boys
Below are some pointers to help us understand and connect with our teen and tween boys:
Gender gapBoys take longer to mature than girls. Simple but true. If we understand this, it will reduce some of the frustration we feel when we compare our sons with our daughters. We have to be careful especially with first-born sons with their sisters who are a couple of years younger.

A younger sister maturing earlier has a good chance of being on par academically and socially with her older brother. She inevitably becomes a threat. This is a common source of sibling rivalry, leaving many eldest boys discouraged. They end up giving their sister a hard time “for no apparent reasons.”

Give them time to mature and develop. Most boys take their time growing up – sometimes a decade or two! Bottom line: Parenting boys takes patience, persistence and perseverance.
The here and nowBoys generally live in the here and now, especially teenage boys. Avoid nagging your teenager about how his current behaviour is going to impact his adulthood.

A 16-year-old who can’t see life beyond next week will not care about what’s going to happen to him when he is 26 or older. For example, if you want to encourage your teenage son to eat less junk and more real food, it’d be more effective to point out that eating healthy will give him good skin and he’d look better, rather than talking to him about benefits like preventing illnesses.
The real culpritMany parents complain that their boys, especially tweens, don’t take instructions very well. They either turn a deaf ear, have delayed response or are plain forgetful.

This is indeed frustrating, as tween boys are misread as having an attitude problem. However, it is not entirely their fault. During early puberty, the brain undergoes major reconstruction. Hence, simple recall can be a problem for boys. It takes a little longer for them to find the right information in the brain until new connections are made. Some even have problem finding the right words to use.

More often than not, it is not that our tween boys are inexpressive or not smart; their developing brain is the culprit and presents them with challenges.

Solution? Say it short and write it down. Give instructions, one at a time, and teach the boys to create a “to-do” list and time-table. This way, it becomes clear and concrete for them.

In his blogpost entitled “Simplicity of Raising Boys,” Australian parenting educator and author Michael Grose suggests: “There is only one thing a mum and dad needs to remember. Boys like to please their mums, and they want their dads to be proud of them.”

Well, use these two tips in the right proportions and you will have a good recipe to calm the boisterous boys and bring out the best in them.
