24 hours a day, your body is actively producing milk for your newborn. This is why some mums say they feel really hungry often or dizzy in case cases. It is important to stay hydrated and fuel your body with not just healthy but nutrient-rich meals.

1. Avocados

As a new mum, you probably have very little time to prepare a proper meal except you have a structured support system on ground which includes your partner, friends, neighbours, help, etc. Avocados are not only filling but also a nutritional powerhouse.

Avocados are nearly 80 percent fat and help main­tain a feeling of fullness in addition to providing your body with heart-healthy fats. Avocados are also a good source of B vitamins, vitamin K, folate, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin E.

2. Nuts

Nuts are rich in minerals like Iron, Zinc, Calcium and essential vitamins- vitamin K and B vitamins. They are also a healthy source of essential fatty acids and protein. Nuts also aid breast milk production, this means they are galactagogue

3. Beans and Legumes

4. Green Vegetables
