Dr. Sandip Gupta

Ek pediatrician bata rahe hain ki breastfeeding karne wali mothers ko kya khana chahiye, kitni matra mein, kaunse foods avoid karne chahiye, aur kaunse foods se doodh ki matra achi banti hai — ise 7 key tips ki tarah present kiya gaya hai, kyunki maa ka nutrition seedhe bache ke nutrition aur growth ko determine karta hai, aur delivery (normal ya C-section, dono mein significant blood loss hota hai) ke baad maa ki apni recovery mein bhi madad karta hai. Is video mein cover kiya gaya hai: General meal structure Lactating mothers ko 3 major meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) plus 2 snacks lene chahiye, jisme achi matra mein fruits aur liquids shaamil hon. Tip 1 — Paryapt liquids/hydration Roz kam se kam 8-10 glass paani, plus doosre liquids (coconut water, soup, fruit juice, lassi, chaas) — kyunki breast milk 85% se zyada paani hota hai, paryapt hydration na hone par doodh production seedha limit ho jaata hai aur otherwise formula milk ki zaroorat pad sakti hai, jiski apni problems hoti hain. Tip: har feeding session ke aas-paas/pehle/baad ek glass paani piyein, isse doodh production aur hydration dono mein madad milti hai. Tip 2 — Iron aur calcium Delivery ke baad apne gynecologist/obstetrician dwara prescribe kiye gaye iron aur calcium tablets continue karein; koi issue ho to apne doctor se discuss karein. Iron bache ke brain development ke liye zaroori hai; calcium bone growth ke liye. Natural iron sources: palak aur doosri green vegetables, methi, dry fruits, alag-alag nuts. Natural calcium sources: doodh aur dairy products (paneer, cheese, dahi/yogurt), aur ragi. Tip 3 — Balanced diet 3 meals + 2 snacks mein paryapt carbohydrates, protein, fat, minerals aur vitamins hone chahiye. Carbs: oats, dalia, roti, ragi — chawal ki khichdi, dalia, oats khichdi, poha, upma, idli, sooji ka halwa, ragi ke through. Protein: vegetarians ke liye dairy (cheese, paneer, dahi, doodh), plus soybean dal/chunks, dry fruits aur nuts; non-vegetarians anda aur doosra non-veg le sakte hain, lekin seafood zyada na khayein kyunki usme mercury hoti hai jo brain development ko affect karti hai; alag-alag nuts (badam, pista, kaju, moongfali) bhi madad karte hain. Fat: moderate matra mein ghee ya olive oil — energy ke liye kaafi, par zyada nahi, taaki unnecessary weight gain na ho. Tip 4 — Constipation se bachav Bahut si mothers ko postpartum constipation hoti hai. Fiber ke liye khoob green leafy vegetables (palak, methi, bathua aur doosre saag) aur bhindi, lauki, karela, nenua jaisi sabziyan khayein taaki regular bowel movements ho aur constipation-related dard aur gas na ho. Tip 5 — Milk supply badhane wale foods aur cheezein Methi (fenugreek) ka paani (boil ya soaked) ya sabzi mein daal kar; saunf, chaba kar ya khane mein daal kar ya paani ki tarah — dono milk production aur supply badhane wale hormones ko badhate hain. Til ka laddu, gond ka laddu, badam aur alag-alag nuts. Papita se milk supply badhne mein madad dekhi gayi hai. Cereals: jau (barley), oats, dalia bhi milk production support karte hain. Kuch powders jaise Lactonic ya Galactogen kabhi-kabhi doctors prescribe karte hain (subah-shaam 2 chammach doodh ya paani mein mila kar) — par inhe lene se pehle dose aur zaroorat apne doctor se confirm karein; supply badhane ke liye doctor doosri dawaiyan bhi prescribe kar sakte hain. Tip 6 — Avoid karne wali cheezein Bahut spicy ya oily food — potty ke raste mein jalan kar sakta hai, gas aur pet phoolne ki problem kar sakta hai, aur delivery ki healing area mein dard badha sakta hai. Caffeinated drinks (chai, coffee, soda): American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ki recommendation roz 200 mg tak caffeine allow karti hai (lagbhag 1 cup chai). Doctor ki personal recommendation: agar strong craving nahi hai to avoid karein, kyunki maa ke diet mein caffeine aksar bache mein gas problem se linked hota hai (isi par alag detail video hai, description mein link); agar chahiye to 1 cup recommended limit ke andar hai. Alcohol bilkul consume nahi karna chahiye. Smoking bhi bache ki health ke liye harmful hai; jahan maa aur bacha hain wahan koi aur bhi smoke kar raha ho to bhi avoid karein, kyunki passive/second-hand smoke bhi maa aur bache par negative asar daalta hai. High mercury content ki wajah se seafood avoid karein, jo bache ke brain development ko nuksan pahuncha sakta hai. Jis bhi food ya medicine se allergy hai use avoid karein. Lactation ke dauran kabhi bhi over-the-counter drugs ya antibiotics khud se na lein — hamesha pehle apne gynecologist se confirm karein, kyunki bahut si medicines breast milk mein jaakar bache ko affect kar sakti hain. Tip 7 — Sirf bache ki nahi, maa ki bhi care karein Bache ke janm ke baad, family ka poora dhyan aksar bache par chala jaata hai, jabki maa ki apni zaroorat aur taklifon ko — khud maa aur family dono nazarandaz kar dete hain. Doctor emphasize karte hain ki maa ki health jitni acchi tarah look after ki jaayegi, breast milk se bache ko utna hi accha nutrition milega aur bache ki growth utni hi healthy hogi. Maa ki health ka dhyan rakhna bahut zaroori hai. Video mein do related follow-ups mention kiye gaye hain: ek sample one-day diet chart wala video, aur ek alag video jisme bataya gaya hai ki maa ki diet mein kya changes karne se bache ki colic pain kam ho sakti hai.
