 Hello everyone, so now I am going to discuss about lactation nutrition, so in this like a mother who is lactating, her nutrition is as important as breastfeeding because here she is, she is producing so much milk with our proper techniques of breastfeeding, she is waking up every hour or two, she is using lot of her energy, so we want to make sure that she gets a good amount of nutrient dense food in her diet and you know in this tutorial we have shown what is a requirement for protein and energy and you know what kind of food that we recommend, of course in this we have added some galactogongs, now in my personal opinion if you ask me, you know if you start actually teaching mother proper technique of breastfeeding and if baby is able to completely emptying those breasts, you know even if mother was say slightly undernourished, mother baby was growing leaps and bounds, so they grow pretty well, you know they are like parasite, okay. So just you know of course focus on protein and other nutrients which are required for mothers, lactation you know we have again even in non-veg recipes we have added some galactogongs, some of the galactogongs like moringa powder, you know methi, those definitely has some effect you know, but as I said you know tell mothers that even if she does not have any galactogog she will have beautiful baby as long as she focuses on the technique and emptying, complete emptying of breast, okay, so more she empties more milk she will get, okay. So that is important, another thing about lactation nutrition is many times you know mothers ask if she can have satawari powder, if she can have that powder or she can have this powder, normally I do not kind of in the beginning I am not too negative about it, you know because whatever the culture is I mean that is okay, but what I try to bring that focus on is on latching, okay latching and complete emptying, so just you know you can slowly then once baby starts gaining weight you can tell them that you can stop satawari or whatever powder and she can just focus on the proper latching and then she have a relaxation that relaxation is really really important for the mothers, okay, so that is it enjoy our tutorials, thank you. We will learn about importance of nutrition during lactation, preparation of vegetarian recipes such as mixed sprouts chila, garlic flaxseed and sesame chutney, peanut spinach and fenugreek cutlet, pearl millet and amaranth leaves muthia, sprouted fenugreek seeds curry. During lactation a mother requires additional amount of nutrition for milk production to provide enough nutrients for the growing infant and to maintain mother's own health, essential nutrients
