Micronutrition, even during breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed the newborn and its benefits are multiple: nutritional, physiological and emotional, creating a strong and unique relationship between mother and baby. Breast milk is the ideal food for the baby because it is specifically adapted to it. It is alive and inimitable: its composition evolves over time to adapt and precisely cover the nutritional needs of the infant.

ESSENTIAL MICRONUTRIENTS

Increased intake!

Breastfeeding requires good hydration, a varied diet of the mother to develop the tastes in the child, and must bring all that is necessary for the good development of the child.

As in pregnancy, breastfeeding is accompanied by an increase in the need for certain nutrients that she does not find in her usual diet in sufficient quantity: vitamins, minerals, omega 3...

It is therefore advisable for lactating women to supplement their diet by providing a suitable nutritional and micronutrient source in order to optimize breastfeeding as their needs change.

Keep fit and morale!

The arrival of a baby in the life of a woman is something magical but for all that is a real upheaval! Fatigue, cries, tears, anxieties, interrupted nights ... it is sometimes difficult to keep up the morale and stay in shape! Supplementation with certain nutrients is recommended to deal with this discomfort. For example:

of omega-3 (DHA / EPA) to support the normal functioning of the brain,
of vitamin D to boost immunity,
of vitamin C to regain shape!
