I was wondering if you are still vegan, and how the breastfeeding went?
No problem. Congrats and good luck mum!
Yes! I only eat steel cut oatmeal, you can do so much with it! I'm researching how to make my own infant formula, but I'm counting on my body to do what it naturally should. Thanks for the advice.
Ok good to know, Thank you!
Oatmeal is what's supposed to help produce milk. Home made oatmeal. Not the instant kind. You can put fruit and spices. Honey or sugar. Coconut is awesome to stay hydrated and is very healthy. If you can't breastfeed is where the problem starts. There aren't many formula options for Vegan diet. Study up on that just in case.
I'm not vegan but as far a milk my kids drink almond and coconut. I would personally stay away from soy especially if you have a boy. Baby food for us is what we eat. My daughter never ate pureed food, she hated so soft fruits and veggies were always my best friends. Pasta, potatoes, beans etc. Just do what's best for the both of you. Nursing takes a lot of you so be prepared to intake the same amount of calories as you do now about 500 extra. Best wishes!
