raw and breastfeeding

[mrsbrunette]

Hi All! I am breastfeeding a 4 month old. My problem is getting enough calories (1500-1800) while eating raw or just high raw. If I do not eat enough my baby is not at the breast very much. What should I eat to make sure my I am eating enough? Any tips or advice are welcome!

adding an avocado or two a day should help you out... think calorie dense foods. if you don't already drink smoothies, those can fit in lots of calories depending on what you put in them... a few bananas, some frozen fruit, nut milk and a spoonful of almond butter is a pretty dense combination.
