Posted Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 3:14 PM had gestational diabetes (75g GTT checked 2 weeks ago, and clear of gestational diabetes)...would like to go vegan and stay healthy... right now, I am breastfeeding (baby is 9 weeks old)..., and feeling that I am hungry all the time...on the menu, there is only 1 afternoon snack...wondering is that all right that I eat more often (snack in between meals, or as often as I feel like to???) my ob wants me to eat more protein, and extra calories if I breastfeed the baby...do I eat more bean???

Posted Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 3:28 PM Make sure to keep your calories up and LIQUIDS! Lots of fresh filtered water. As far as I understand, you can eat all the whole fruits and veggies you want. I don't remember seeing limitations on whole fruits and veggies, just the stuff we like to put on them! Congratulations on your baby! Best wishes! Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.

Posted Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 3:31 PM I'm not sure because I was ovo-lacto vegetarian when I was nursing but one thing that helped me a lot as far as milk production was oatmeal. Eat it for breakfast every day, put it in cookies, muffins, pancakes, etc. It really works! Congratulations! This is a very special time in your child's life (and yours). Enjoy it!
