Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are excellent while breastfeeding! They're one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, and protein — all nutrients nursing moms need.
Chia seeds are packed with ALA omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. They absorb many times their weight in liquid, making chia pudding a nutritious and satisfying snack. The omega-3s contribute to the fatty acid profile of breast milk, which supports your baby's brain development. Add them to smoothies, yogurt, or make overnight chia pudding.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
