TIPS ON WHAT TO EAT/WHAT NOT TO EAT:
Did you know you burn approximately 500 calories per day while breastfeeding? It's important to have a highly nutritious diet with plenty of green leafy veggies and whole grains. Be sure to stay hydrated too! Some foods can affect your newborn's tummy if he or she has a sensitive digestive system. These foods can include milk, spicy food, acidic food, chocolate, broccoli, and caffeine. Moderation is key! You can find more information here!

PUMP & DUMP? GIVE ME THE STORY HERE?
You can finally drink again...whoo hoo! Remember that alcohol peaks around one hour after consumption and then dissipates. So, it is best to drink right after you nurse or at least one hour before you breastfeed again. There is no need to pump and dump milk after drinking alcohol other than for mom’s comfort — pumping and dumping do not speed up eliminating alcohol from mother's milk.
