What should be the diet of a breastfeeding woman according to CBC practice?

  1. Should eat fewer calories than usual

  2. Only consume liquid diets

  3. Keep normal intake with enough calories

  4. Only eat certain types of foods

The correct answer is: Keep normal intake with enough calories

A This option is incorrect because a breastfeeding woman should not restrict their calories too much since they need more to produce breast milk. B: A liquid diet doesn't provide enough essential nutrients for a breastfeeding woman and may affect the quality of breast milk. D: Only eating certain types of foods may limit the variety of nutrients needed for both the mother and the baby. A balanced and varied diet is important for breastfeeding.
