Dal (Lentil Soup)

Dal — spiced lentil soup — is a nutritional cornerstone of the Indian postpartum diet, providing plant-based protein, iron, folate, and fiber. It's gentle, easy to digest, and endlessly versatile. Dal is an excellent breastfeeding food and a wonderful way to keep your iron levels up after birth.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
