How is your baby developing and growing
Your baby will continue to gain weight while he is still inside the uterus, although the rate of growth is very slow. All his/her organ systems are now in place and capable of functioning on their own
Your Nutrition If you are going to be breast feeding your baby, you may be concerned about your nutrition levels and what is best for you to eat. You may be advised to eat an extra 500 calories per day, as on average a breast feeding mother usually secretes about 425 to 700 calories into her beast milk everyday.
The extra calories can be gained from eating the following:
Bread/cereal/past/rice 9 servings/day Milk/cheese/dairy 3 servings/day Fruits 4 servings/day Vegetables 5 servings/day
You will also want to avoid foods that can cause gas, such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and spicy foods.
