Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog post, I have written a sample meal plan here along with what you can’t eat and what kind of foods you can include while you’re breastfeeding.
This plan is just an example, you can mix and match it with your favourite veggies.
I am not a dietitian, this is purely from my own personal experience.
