Question

Nancy is a 29-year-old new mom. Her baby girl is three months old and seemingly healthy. There were no complications with the pregnancy. Nancy is hoping to breastfeed their baby for 12 months to ensure good health and reduce the risk of certain diseases. The challenge for Nancy is to learn and understand more about nutrition because she never thought much about it prior to getting pregnant. She wants to provide enough nutritious milk for her baby, but she also wants to lose more of her pregnancy weight and get back to her usual self—she was 5 feet 9 inches and 125 pounds before getting pregnant. How should Nancy change her diet and what are the needs of her quickly growing baby?

The best way for Nancy to loss more of her pregnancy weight and get back to her usual self is to change her diet by doing the following

1. Drink plenty of water every day

2. Have as much sleep as she can

3. Eat a balanced diet including fruits, vegetables , lean protein and healthy fats

4. Incorporating less strenous exercise in her daily rountine.

The baby needs breast milk and water to grow .

Step-by-step explanation:

Drinking plenty of water every day help reduce fat and also enough sleep, adding moderate exercise in her daily rountine will also go a long way in helping reduce the pregnancy fat. The growing baby needs a regular supply of breast milk which experts believes is the best sourceof nutrition for babies during the first six months.

Answer 2

The answer is Nancy should make an appointment with several physicians such as a pediatrician, an endocrinologist , and a nutrologist. So that she can get the correct information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because each of these doctors will give her the correct orientation to lose weight without putting her baby's health and development in danger.

When a woman breastfeeds she loses a lot of calories and water. To produce 01 Liter of milk she needs to drink at least 03 Liters of water. She needs to eat lots of vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, carbs, fat, and take vitamins. Because from these food, she will get zinc, minerals, calcium, potassium, glucose, and other important sources of energy for her and her child.

The pediatrician will guide her in her baby's care. The endocrinologist will check her hormones and guide her through a health diet for her condition, and the nutrologist will explain what food is important in her daily routine.

It is important for her to understand that, even though she wants to lose the baby weight, she cannot put herself in danger. Otherwise she will produce little and poor nutrient milk and her baby will not develop well.
