Becoming a new mom is an exciting journey, but it also comes with unique nutritional challenges. Proper nutrition is crucial for postpartum recovery and successful breastfeeding.

2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water, especially if breastfeeding.

The postpartum period is not a race to bounce back; it's a time to bounce forward into the new you. - Dr. Sudeshna Ray, Gynecologist, GYTREE

3. Caloric Intake: Breastfeeding moms need about 500 extra calories per day.

4. Essential Nutrients: Pay attention to iron, calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids.

For body positivity, which is an important topic for new moms, you might consider promoting:
