hi hetti
does your country have a "food pyramid" like the USA does? It shows the base
of the pyramid which is the foods one is supposed to consume the most. And
it goes up to the tip of the pyramid which is foods you consume in small
quantities like sugar. You can do an internet search for USDA Food Pyramid,
I think. It is a good guide to give and can probably be printed off.
I usually try to ask moms what foods are recommended for lactation in her
culture. Then, as long as it is not a problem food, like excess caffiene or
alcohol, I will just agree and encourage she eat plenty of that food (like
oatmeal or some kind of malted cereal, warm foods, etc).
