36. Nourishing Your Body While Breastfeeding: What You Actually Need to Know
Breastfeeding is beautiful - but let’s be honest, it can also leave you ravenous, thirsty, and completely overwhelmed trying to figure out what to eat (or avoid). In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin are breaking down exactly what your body needs while breastfeeding.
If you’re wondering what to eat for milk supply, whether certain foods might bother your baby, or how to keep yourself nourished when time and energy are low, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we cover:
- How breastfeeding increases nutrient and calorie needs (and how to meet them)
- Essential nutrients for milk production, healing, and energy—like protein, healthy fats, choline, calcium, and DHA
- Easy, one-hand meal and snack ideas that actually keep you full
- Foods that may cause baby sensitivities—and how to spot them without panicking
- Hydration tips and why fluid needs skyrocket during breastfeeding
- How to care for yourself in this demanding season, even if your toddler’s waffles are the only thing on the plate some days
✨ This is your reminder that fueling your body doesn’t have to be complicated—and small, consistent steps can make a big difference in how you feel.
🎧 Tune in to learn how to feel more nourished, more energized, and more supported while breastfeeding.
