A plant-based diet during breastfeeding
Table of Contents
1. The types of plant-based diets and the safety of their use
The position of the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics indicates that well-planned vegetarian and vegan diets can be safely used at any stage of life, including during lactation. Among plant diets, several varieties can be distinguished. Among the most popular are vegetarianism (also known as lacto-vegetarianism), which presupposes abstinence from eating meat and fish, but allows animal products (e.g. yogurt, egg whites, meats), and veganism, which dilates eggs and other meats, as well as all products derived from animal feed.2. Energy and macromolecules
For this reason, it is important to give up very restrictive reduction diets. With increasing energy demand, protein intake should be proportionally increased to keep it at a level of 1020% of the total energy efficiency of the diet. As a supplement to cocktail or ovine meals, vegetarian protein can also be used. It is therefore important to provide it primarily in the form of nuts and seeds (which are also a source of protein), and to reduce the amount of fat from the body's sources of fatty acids as well as from the digestive and metabolic processes of the ovaries.3. The micro-components
Vitamin B12 is naturally present in foods of animal origin during breastfeeding, however, if the diet includes products commonly found in the vegetable diet (whole grain cereals, oatmeal, nuts, seeds or green vegetables) it should not be a challenge to supply them in adequate quantities. However, if this list includes products that are commonly available in the plant diet (full grains of cereal, oats and legumes), it should also increase the nutritional value of the plant (which depends solely on cereal grains, carbohydrates, legumes, grains and vegetables), and thus increase the potency of the animal's dietary supplements, as well as increase the body's ability to produce food from a source other than grain, and the use of plant and animal nutrition supplements in the same way is essential. It is therefore necessary to take into account the fact that the amount of vitamin B12 in the diet, which also depends largely on the body and the body, is also important in determining the nutrition of the body.4. It's a fluid
During breastfeeding, the demand for fluids also increases from 2000 ml to 2700 ml. This includes both beverages (water, juices, vapors) and water taken with food (in the form of soup, contained in fruits, vegetables, etc.).5. In the case of the 'extra_id_0>', the 'extras' shall be replaced by 'extraterrestrials'
It should be noted that some women may need to use additional supplements or other doses, so you should consult a doctor. Vegetable diet in practice, Warsaw 2023.6. What to avoid when breastfeeding
This is a disorder of the digestive tract of a child that goes away on its own and its causes are not well understood. Therefore, it is not necessary to exclude products considered to be inflammatory (e.g. onions, cabbage, legumes) if they are well tolerated by the nursing woman. During breastfeeding, elimination diets are not required if the mother's health does not require them. However, their occurrence is not affected by the diet of the mother.7. Effect of the plant-based diet on milk composition
Perrin et al. 2022) It also highlights the importance of adequate energy supply. Although initially too little energy supply during feeding does not affect the quantity or quality of food, it leads to maternal malnutrition, which can lead to negative health consequences and, in the long run, to reduced food production. Ureta-Velasco et al., 2023; M. Some differences are observed in the concentrations of vitamin B12 and DHA, which are often lower in the milk of vegetarians and vegans, which confirms the need for their supplementation.
