Doctors, health visitors, midwives -- all nag you to eat well and keep up your breastmilk production in your first few weeks postpartum, but no one checks up on you when you're several months on, and perhaps even back at work. Yet, these are the moments when -- if you're anything like me -- you're most likely to slacken your vigilance with a good diet. That's why this book is so important. It explains why you need to eat so much, and yet, why you need to eat the right things, too. I have really picked up my energy levels since following Behan's advice, and have continued to fit better and better into my old jeans. A fantastic reference book that encourages you just when you're flagging.

I bought this book when I nursed my first baby, and now I am reading it again with my second. The author does an excellent job of encouraging the nursing mother to eat nutritious foods, both for her good and her baby's. Sensible food choices are encouraged, and healthy eating is stressed more than dieting. Foods to avoid are listed, along with the reasons to stay away from them. Also, I especially enjoyed the recipes in the last chapter. Very tasty and easy!

My son is 2 months old and has been putting on weight very slowly if at all for the last 6 weeks. My health visitor and I were both worried about my milk supply and the quality of it, she wanted me to introduce formula but I was insistant that I wanted to breastfeed.
I was asked loads of times about my food intake and, as I was eating 3 good meals a day, I kept telling everyone it was fine which I genuinely thought it was ..... until I read this book!! I have been following the diet plan for 3 days now and feel like I'm forever eating but I have noticed a considerable difference in my milk supply matched by the fact that in the last week my son has put on 14 ounces!!
It is easy to use and you don't even have to follow the menus as it is about making sure you have the recommended daily allowance in each food group which has been made easy to calculate. I wish I had read this book at the very beginning as it has been invaluable and if I lose weight as well that will just be an added bonus!!
