Delivered my baby 2 weeks back and my mom is feeding me ladoos and all but ghar pe everyone has different opinions on dry fruits during feeding. is it fine to have them now? how much is too much?
Oh my god, yes, you absolutely CAN eat dry fruits after pregnancy! When you're running on zero sleep with one baby, let alone two, dry fruits are your quick energy boosters. Keep a small box next to your bed or wherever you feed the baby. Just don't overdo it, or you'll be running to the washroom even more often!
Indeed, dry fruits are considered beneficial for new mothers. They provide essential nutrients and energy needed for healing and milk production. It's a blessing to nourish your body well after such a significant journey. Just listen to your body's signals and consume them mindfully. Stay positive and take care of yourself.
Generally, yes, dry fruits are good for postpartum recovery as they are nutrient-dense. However, do keep their sugar content in mind, especially if you had gestational diabetes. Moderation is key. A handful of mixed dry fruits is usually fine, but balance with other foods.
