Large weight loss should be avoided because fat-soluble environmental contaminants to which she has been exposed are stored in her body's fat reserves,and these may be released into her milk.In addition,some mothers find that their milk supply decreases when caloric intake is severely restricted,as when eating too little or exercising too much.A breastfeeding mother need add only 200 to 500 extra calories to her diet to provide extra nutrients for the infant.The mother can go back to her consumption patterns of any drinks as long as she gets enough calcium,only if she does not drink alcohol,limits coffee to no more than two cups (caffeine in chocolate,tea,and some sodas),and reads the herbal tea ingredients carefully.The mother needs her rest,but moderate exercise is healthy.
