My husband’s doing this special eating plan on his “road to a six pack,” and as such, he’s weighing his food and being all specific and precise and parsimonious about things. As a result, he gets mighty hungry in between meals…

“I’m starting to act like you,” he tells me.

“Oh?” I muse.

“Yeah, I get super hungry and I’m starting to think about food all day.”

Finally he gets me.

Perhaps my favorite aspect of this physically and emotionally challenging task of breastfeeding is how much I can eat.

If it sounds like I’m bragging here – not so. Remember, when you eat largely whole foods (and plant based, of course,) this dietary abundance is generally true for anyone due to the fiber and caloric density concept, but even more so when it comes to breastfeeding mamas.

I’m a bottomless pit.

So though I could be going to town with all sorts of foodical frivolities, when you’re also responsable for feeding another (precious!) human with your body, it’s even more important to think about nutrition!

Sounds inter-planetary and intergalactic, and it sort of is, because as we’ve discussed this before in this post, galactagogues are lactation-inducing foods, aka your ticket to the milk way.

So today I’m sharing a little slice of life these days, and a typical meal plan du jour optimal for breastfeeding.

I hope you enjoyed today’s video. Let me know if you try any of these recipes! As always, it means a lot when you leave a comment and check in, dear reader.

Talk soon, and happy-almost-spring – can’t wait!
