Best Food for the New Mom

Post pregnancy the food you eat can make you and your baby healthy. The right food not only gives you a good health, lose the extra pounds but also will ensure a healthy baby. Foods that give you constant energy the new mom needs & the nutrients both mom and the baby needs, because if it doesn't come from the food it goes away from the mother's body.

1. Water: The body consists of 75% water and the body needs it for making milk for the baby also, so definitely increasing water intake will help you to make more milk. Also the breast-feeding can cause dehydration in the lactating mother, so drinking water helps.

2. Salmon: Salmons like any other fatty fish have a compound called DHA, which is essential for the nervous system of the baby. The mother's milk has DHA but the nutrient might not be enough if not taken in mother's diet.

3. Low fat dairy product: Dairy products like milk, yogurt & cheese help provide the body with essential calcium, protein, Vitamin D & Vitamin B complex to the body & also the milk you feed to your baby gives him the strength for stronger bones with the calcium & Vitamin D.

4. Legumes: A good source of proteins for vegetarians & vegans. Intake of the dark colored legumes like kidney beans & black beans also provide a good amount of iron in the milk.

5. Oranges: Powerhouse of antioxidant & rich in Vitamin C, they are very much needed by the nursing mother, if sipping on juices check out for natural ones without high sugar levels.

6. Garlic: Garlic has been known as age old remedy for boosting milk in new mothers. Adding it to food not only adds flavor but also the bonus. If not fan of garlic in food, can take pills which are equally good & does not have the afterward pungent smell.

7: Leafy Greens: They are a great source of Vitamin A which is good for the baby. They are also a great source of calcium for vegans. They also provide ample amount of iron & Vitamin C and known for excellent heart healthy anti-oxidants.

8. Eggs: They are versatile way to provide the body with protein & nutrients. If DHA fortified eggs are available in your area, you stand a better chance to increase your DHA intake.

There are also other advised foods which are good during & after pregnancy, you can add the best to your diet for your & your baby's health. A sick mother cannot be a great mom. Thanks!

Shredded Low fat Cheddar cheese: 1/2 cup
Oregano Seasoning
Basil seasoning
Salt to taste
Black pepper
Baking powder: 1/4 teaspoon
Olive oil to grease

Preparation:
1. The mushrooms whenever eaten should be only after blanching, so take the mushrooms & blanch it with hot water & a bit of salt added. It helps to reduce gastronomic effects.
2. Cut the tomato, bell pepper & the blanched mushroom into small pieces, & keep it aside.
3. In a clean bowl add the eggs & add the oregano, basil seasonings, salt & black pepper. After it is mixed well add the baking powder and beat well so that no lumps are formed.
4. Take the silicon baking sheet or tin with muffin moulds and grease it with olive oil, the muffin will have 3 layers when you eat. So at first we have to pour a little of the egg mix in all the moulds for the bottom layer.
5. Next we have to add the veggies for the middle layer. Save some tomato cubes for the top. Sprikle a layer of cheese over this.
6. Pour the rest of the egg mix on the top of this. Ensure that the moulds are not filled completely else while baking your mix will spill over.
7. Top all your muffins with tomato cubes.
8. Bake it for 15-20 mins on a preheated oven at 350 F or 180 C. Insert a knife to check whether it comes out clean. And we are done.
