While you are carrying a child in your womb you have to watch what you eat. Your food choices serve as the nutrients that are fed to your unborn child and will be the building blocks the body uses to develop that unborn baby. The better you eat, the healthier your baby will be upon birth. In fact, the healthier you eat the better you will feel and look during and after the pregnancy. These are all things any confinement nanny will advise on.
Most mothers understand this, but they don't understand that they have to continue eating as healthy as possible during confinement. The baby is developed and is no longer a part of your body, but you can still affect the health of the baby depending on the amount of nutrition you provide.
Nutrition for the Breastfeeding Mother
If you choose to breastfeed your baby, then what you eat is just as important to your baby as it was when you were pregnant. The food you eat is passed to the baby through your breast milk. If you aren't eating healthy foods packed with nutrients that the baby needs, then the baby won't get what they need to continue growing and developing.
When you eat healthy foods during confinement the nutrients the baby needs are passed through the milk and your baby has a much healthier start on life. They are more likely to grow big and strong with all functions inside the body working as they should. That's the amazing thing about nutrition!
This is why any confinement nanny or doctor will advise a breastfeeding mother not to start dieting right after giving birth. They need the nutrients in healthy foods to pass on to the baby and most women strictly dieting will not deliver the amount of nutrients the baby needs.
A good confinement nanny can actually prepare very healthy foods that help with weight loss without strictly counting calories or restricting in other ways that are too much during breastfeeding. This is far better than dieting!
Nutrition for the Bottle-Feeding Mother
If you decide to feed your baby with a bottle or cannot breastfeed for some reason, that doesn't give you a free pass to neglect your diet or to crash diet to lose the baby weight quickly. Your body still needs to heal from the birth of the baby and the months of pregnancy. You need to eat healthy foods that allow your own body to heal.
Eating a well balanced, healthy diet will naturally help with shedding the baby weight. It will also help you keep your energy levels high so you are able to get through the hard days of raising an infant. Of course, having a confinement nanny on board will make meal planning and prep much easier to balance with the needs of the new baby.
Whether you choose to breastfeed or bottle feed, it is important to make sure your food intake is as healthy as possible after having the baby. The easiest way to do this is to hire a confinement nanny skilled in the kitchen. They don't necessarily have to serve your entire family, but they should be able to look after the food choices for you to ensure you heal properly and support the baby if breastfeeding.
