Stay Hydrated When You Are Breastfeeding - Kanupriya
According to studies, it’s recommended that you drink more water than usual when you’re breastfeeding. Since your breast milk is made up of about 90 percent water, it’s important to drink plenty of water each day while planning your diet during your lactation period. Drinking enough water will not only keep you healthy and hydrated but will also help you produce and maintain your breast milk supply.
Tips to Get Enough Water Each Day
It can be difficult to keep a track of how much water you’re drinking when you are a busy new mom. A good way to get enough water in your breastfeeding meal plan is to keep a bottle of water near you to sip while you’re nursing. That way, you’ll be sure to gulp sufficient water when you need.
“Time” your water intake if you have a hard time remembering to drink it. Set an alarm for every hour and try to sip a few ounces each time the alarm goes off. You will soon be in the habit of drinking water.
You can also carry your water bottle with you when you’re on the go. Keep it in your diaper bag, or in the stroller pocket. By having water handy, you’ll be more likely to consume enough water throughout the day.
Check if You Are Consuming Enough Water
One way to determine if you are consuming enough water is to pay close attention to your urine. If your urine is almost clear or a pale yellow in colour — it means you are drinking enough water. However, if the urine is dark yellow or you realize that you are urinating less often than usual- then it’s a sign that you are probably dehydrated.
Recommended Water Intake During Breastfeeding During breastfeeding, the average intake of water should be minimum 3 litres. However, if you need precise information on how much water you should consume as per your health condition — contact Kanupriya Khanna. A certified nutritionist from Delhi, Kanupriya will not only share tips on how to get the right amount of water during breastfeeding but will also help you plan a good post delivery diet to stay healthy.

Life with Mr 7 and Miss 5 continues to tick on quite steadily. It feels less like living with a ticking timebomb now. We can generally head the meltdown off before it starts. Weekdays are very routine with school and just down time at home after school, and weekends we keep quite busy with various activities and new experiences for the children. I’ve got one to one swimming lessons lined up for Mr 7 over the summer, and they both get two days a week holiday club. We have a week away booked in August. I’m feeling like the school holidays are quite under control.
Miss 5 is non verbal but we are getting lots more squeals and excited stimming, and she is gaining weight and growing a bit, despite her diet of weetabix. Actually I’ve spoken to the dietician and we have agreed that weetabix and oat milk, both of which are fortified with vitamins, provides a pretty reasonable amount of nutrition. Anyway she is still tiny and way below the 0.4th centile. I do believe this is largely caused by years of chronic malnutrition and neglect. She has been failed by the system that should have protected her.
The two of them will be with us for many months yet and I don’t know what direction their future will go in.

In the 19th century, British colonists faced several challenges in India, [...] [including] malaria. [...] The imperialists needed an answer to the problem and they found it in quinine. [...] [T]he British promptly embraced quinine, consuming tonnes of it every year by the mid-1800s. [...] Quinine was so bitter that soldiers and officials began mixing the powder with soda and sugar, unwittingly giving birth to “tonic water”. [...] [I]t prompted Winston Churchill to once proclaim, “The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen’s lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.” [...] If by some good fortune malaria did not claim them, plague, cholera, dysentery, enteric fever, hepatitis or the unforgiving sun could. Preserving and protecting the body was [...] crucial to the success of the colonial project. As historian EM Collingham aptly summarised in her study, “The British experience of India was intensely physical.”
One way the colonists tried to deal with this challenge was through food and drinks. “The association between food and the maintenance of health was a concern of Anglo-Indian doctors, dieticians and the British authorities throughout the duration of colonial rule [...],” writes Sam Goodman in Unpalatable Truths: Food and Drink as Medicine in Colonial British India. [...]
---
The Medical Gazette, for instance, recommended treating dysentery with a “low diet” comprising thin chicken soup [...]. Botanist-physician George Watt too extolled the virtues of sago. In A Dictionary of the Economic Products of India (1893), he wrote that sago is “easily digestible and wholly destitute of irritating properties” and in demand [...]. For fever, weakness and sundry ailments, beef tea [...] was considered an ideal remedy. And for cholera, The Seamen’s New Medical Guide (1842) prescribed brandy during the worst of the sickness and half a tumbler of mulled wine with toasted bread and castor oil [...]. Ship masters and pantrymen would stock their vessels with foods with known medicinal benefits such as sago, arrowroot, lime juice, desiccated milk and condensed milk (the iconic Anglo Swiss Condensed Milk tins, later known as Milkmaid, enjoyed a permanent spot on British ships).
---
Businessmen too recognised the precarity of life abroad and realised that therein lay a perfect commercial opportunity. By the 19th century, numerous companies had cropped up across Europe, including in England, that would sell food in hermetically sealed tin containers.
One of these was Messrs Brand & Co. Recommended highly in Culinary Jottings for Madras by Colonel Robert Kenney-Herbert, Messrs Brand & Co had several offerings [...]: essence of beef, concentrated beef tea, beef tea jelly, meat lozenges, [...] potted meat, York and game pie, and A1 sauce [...]. Another company, John Moir & Sons, focused mostly on canned soups [...], selling oxtail, turtle, giblet and hare.
---
By the late 19th century such was the popularity of canned foods that rare would be the pantry in a colonial home that didn’t store them along with medical provisions like opium, quinine, chlorodyne and Fowler’s solution (an arsenic compound). [...] As Flora Steele and Grace Gardiner wrote in The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook, ��A good mistress will remember the breadwinner requires blood-forming nourishment, and the children whose constitutions are being built up day by day, sickly or healthy, according to the food given them; and bear in mind the fact that in India, especially, half the comfort of life depends on clean, wholesome, digestible food.”
To assist the British woman in this ostensible duty, there were a number of cookbooks and housekeeping manuals [...]. The Englishwoman in India, for instance, published in 1864 under the pseudonym A Lady Resident, had a whole section with recipes for “infants and invalids”. These included carrot pap cooked into a congee with arrowroot [...] and toast water (well-toasted bread soaked in water). Steele and Gardiner too had a few recipe recommendations [...], including champagne jelly (“most useful in excessive vomiting”) and the dangerous-sounding Cannibal Broth (beef essence), which they said should be consumed with cream [...] to treat extreme debility and typhoid. [...]
---
One dish born of this encounter was the pish pash. The pish pash is considered an invention of the colonial cook, who adapted the kedgeree – the colonial cousin of khichdi – into a light nursery food. The famous Hobson-Jobson defined it as “a slop of rice soup with small pieces of meat” [...]. None other than Warren Hastings, the first governor-general of Bengal, gave confirmation of its efficacy when in 1784 he wrote to his wife from the sick bed [...]. There are enough records to show that the imperialists counted marh (starch water from cooked rice) and bael (wood apple) sherbet among their go-to remedies and benefited from the medicinal qualities of chiretta water and ajwain-infused water.

On a serious note…Fuck off, Genevieve, you Almond Mom ass bitch.
This is the type of thing that makes me incredibly angry as a person with intimate knowledge of disordered eating and treatment.
I could rant for several paragraphs but instead I will just say this:
G is not a doctor, nor a dietician, nor a therapist. She is not a reliable, unbiased source for this kind of messaging, and neither is “Naturalnursemomma” who has brand deals with several of the “clean” products. G is probably hoping to get her attention with this shoutout.
G is a wealthy, elitist SAHM with admitted anxiety and history of disordered eating. She has ample access to the products on the right and zero worries about having adequate access to food or healthcare in general. While she has also said that she avoids talking about diets in front of her children, this is effectively the same thing.
Check out @foodsciencebabe on IG, Tik Tok, or FB for research-based food info you can actually use.

friend! anything new in your life? what's the last thing that made you smile?
hope you have a spectacular day 💙
hello darling!
my wife and i have recently been watching these ex-gymnast youtubers who commit shenanigans and they did a video where they tried women's gymnastics, including the balance beam, and. well. accidents happened that you might expect to happen involving a balance beam, but women do not have the same problem that men do if they land straddling something between their legs
very unfortunate for the guy's potential future children but i was weeping with laughter
as for other things, a lot of my life recently has been revolving around food, but not necessarily in a bad way?
cut for eating disorder things
so turns out i actually DO have an eating disorder, it's just not a useful one that makes people skinny (this is not how EDs work and is a terrible thing to say, i am saying it anyway because those were my initial Depression thoughts). mine's more to do with sensory issues and a lack of wanting to eat that just leads to nutritional problems instead.
earlier this year i had a couple months where i was eating one, maybe two meals a day, and that was kinda when i went 'yeah alright, this is a problem', but there was always that thought of 'okay but is it REALLY?' and it turns out that yes! yes it is
so I've started seeing a therapist that specializes in EDs and talking to a dietician on the regular, and it's actually been pretty good? like some of it has been a kind of validation of 'yes you do have problems with eating and it still matters even if you're overweight', and getting encouragement for eating better. (we are currently aiming for at least 2 meals and a snack. 3 meals is still. iffy. but i greatly appreciate taking small bitty steps instead of jumping right to that.)
and some of it too is focusing on the nutrition part, which mostly amounts to balance and adding more colors to your plate, which has led to multiple instances of me pointing at a fruit or vegetable i've gotten and defensively going 'look! it has color!' to my wife's amusement and agreement. it isn't dieting, but just adding more things (....i just realized how sneaky that is to get me to eat more in general. well played, doctor) that have nutritional benefit.
also my dietician went on a five-minute rant about how BMI is absolute horseshit and how she hates doctors who use it and tell people to do things based off of it (side note, my gastroenterologist basically said 'hey you're obese and you need to lose 20 lbs over the next three months' which hilariously skipped me straight over self-loathing right to 'wow that is unfeasible and absolutely not going to happen'), which then segued into how awful and useless diet culture is
so basically i would die for her

10 VARIETIES OF ROOT VEGETABLES AND THEIR INCREDIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS DURING PREGNANCY
Root vegetables are defined as edible plants that grow underground. Nutritious and delicious — these vegetables are key to a healthy pregnancy.
In this section, we bring to you a list of root vegetables that can be incorporated into one’s pregnancy diet plan.
1. Onion
A staple ingredient in many cuisines — this vegetable has many health benefits. Onions are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber. The antioxidants in onions not only protect body cells against oxidative damage but also help regulate blood sugar levels.
2. Potato
Potato is an incredibly popular root vegetable. They are rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium and manganese. In fact, when you cook and cool potatoes they become high in resistant starch — and this aspect is linked to good gut health.
Instead of fried or processed potatoes — expectant mothers should include baked, boiled or steamed potatoes in their pregnancy diet plan — in order to get the most nutrients.
3. Carrots
Carrots are one of the most popular veggies worldwide. An excellent source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin A and C — these much-loved staples help expectant mothers fight anaemia during pregnancy.
4. Radish
It belongs to the brassica family. radishes are low in carbs and calories, but rich in fiber and Vitamin C.
5. Fennel
A flowering plant species — fennel is full of vitamin C, potassium and fiber. It is also a natural anti-inflammatory and low-calorie food.
6. Sweet Potato
Vibrant and delicious — sweet potatoes offer good nutrition to pregnant women. Rich in fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and several other antioxidants like beta-carotene and chlorogenic acid — this vegetable not only improves blood sugar level but also preserves good vision and skin health.
7. Taro root
Arbi or taro root is packed with magnesium, potassium, carbohydrates, phosphorous, copper, manganese and several other essential minerals such as calcium, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E. In addition, it is also rich in dietary fiber which makes it really helpful in fighting constipation during pregnancy.
8. Turnips
A good source of vitamin C, fiber, manganese, and potassium — turnips are known to have an impressive nutrient profile. This delicious root vegetable can be included in the pregnancy nutrition plan to boost immunity.
9. Beet Root
Dieticians recommend adding beetroot to a balanced nutritional diet during pregnancy.
Beets are rich in many nutrients and components that are helpful for the growing foetus. It regulates metabolism, boosts immunity, and reduces the risk of birth defect
10. Ginger
Ginger is another root vegetable that has a variety of health benefits to offer. From reducing nausea and morning sickness during pregnancy to reducing body pain and gastric issues, there are enough reasons why you must include ginger in your pregnancy diet plan.
Root vegetables not only offer numerous health benefits during pregnancy but are also extremely versatile in the kitchen. These vegetables can be prepared in a myriad of ways — be it baked, sauteed, steamed, stir-fried, or roasted. However, if you wish to explore some interesting healthy, delicious pregnancy recipes — contact Kanupriya Khanna. One of the best nutritionists and dieticians in Delhi, Kanupirya will make the pregnancy meal planning duty simple for you!

just found out 'mommy makeovers' are a thing. where women undergo multiple surgeries at once to get their 'old bodies back' after having children.
multiple MULTIPLE women have died while getting this done. or suffered life long consequences.
trying to 'fix' their bodies that literally created children. they created humans with their bodies and society told them their bodies are wrong.
celebrities are constantly praised for getting their bodies back. celebrities are able to afford childcare and cooks and cleaners and dieticians and personal trainers.
which is not to say the pressure is still unfair. Victoria Beckham was WEIGHED ON LIVE TELEVISION. to 'check' that she had. returned to her previous weight
all of this makes my blood boil. but to top all of it off.
'Dad bods' are praised in society.
which they absolutely should be. but why isn't the same grace granted to women ☹️☹️☹️
#one of the many reasons i wont be having children#and why we still fucking need feminism#feminism#feminist

Just how many people are transgender in the United States is not clear, but in South Carolina it could be nearly 3,000 children, according to a Post and Courier analysis.
In a letter sent amid the budget debate, MUSC said emphatically it does not offer gender reassignment surgery to anyone under 18. Its services for transgender children, offered since 2007, include “access to mental health providers, endocrine medicine providers, social workers and dieticians,” Dr. David Zaas, CEO of MUSC Health’s Charleston Division, wrote in the letter dated March 29.
But the letter didn’t appease Sen. Josh Kimbrell, who authored the ban on MUSC providing gender-transitioning services for minors.
“It doesn’t really say what they do, that’s the problem,” said the Spartanburg Republican, responding to Democrats who accused him of trying to deprive children who may be suicidal of mental health care. “They expressly say what they don’t do, but they don’t clarify what they do.”
Denying that he wanted to withhold lifesaving counseling from any child, he added, “I do, however, think it’s inappropriate for the state to fund a clinic whose whole purpose is to encourage a child to make a decision that may be irreversible.”
Approval of the budget directive that applies only to MUSC came more than a year after a Democrat in the House filed a bill broadly banning gender-transitioning surgery and hormones for anyone under 18. That bill, co-sponsored by one other Democrat and 28 Republicans, drew the ire of his party leaders and got national attention, but it went nowhere in the Statehouse.
″(Opponents of transitioning) tried to pass gender-affirming bans last year and failed at passing a ban,” Condon said. “So instead (they) just used financial pressure with the budget proviso that was included.”
Officially, a state budget directive applies only to taxpayer money approved by the Legislature. But it can be virtually impossible for any public agency to prove a specific program and its employees are wholly funded by other sources. And ignoring legislators’ budget orders can put future public funding at risk.
This fiscal year, MUSC is getting $188.9 million in state funding, but that is 3.5 percent of its $5.4 billion total budget, according to state budget documents and MUSC officials.
After first being assured MUSC could still continue transgender care for minors without touching state funding, Condon said there was an apparent change of heart later last year.
“They felt like the easier way to handle it was to stop providing this care,” she said. So, for the doctors who were prescribing care, “now the doctor’s boss is saying, ‘Don’t do it because it is politically unfavorable,’” Condon said.
MUSC also canceled an LGBT health conference it was slated to host later this month, which is now being picked up by Condon’s group without any participation from MUSC.
It remains unclear when exactly MUSC ended the services. But the result stands Mia among an estimated 150 patients of that pediatric clinic in downtown Charleston scrambling to find treatment elsewhere, even as they have yet to receive official notice from MUSC.

A big box was on the front step. Oh, what is this? Socks! I love new socks and, were I a billionaire, I’d wear a brand new pair every day. Maybe even twice a day. Think of the money I’d save on laundry detergent and hot water!
You know what else went through my mind? How many new socks I could purchase at Target for what my wife paid for these. However, with her order, she included three “normal” pairs for me. They comfort me as well as Thanksgiving dinner.
Today we went to our local brewery for it’s one-year anniversary. Sheila and I had two beers and played cards. It was busy enough that some people had to stand. Our table was a four-top, so we offered the other two chairs to two strangers. We had a fun time getting to know each other. I enjoyed it. 30-year-old Bob would have been uncomfortable with that much socializing.
A guy sitting near us was wearing a sweatshirt for the company that de-ices planes at MSP. Sheila saw it and said, “I’ll wait here while you go ask him 25 questions about de-icing planes. The nice gentleman gladly told me all about de-icing aircraft. The green stuff is glycol. When I retire that might be a fun job if I don’t drive a Zamboni.
Now we’re back home, watching Shrinking. After 1.5 episodes I have to say this is a great show. Some Ted Lasso people are involved in writing and producing this, and I can tell.
Some actors in Shrinking have not aged well. Jason Segel is older, but looks good for his age. But I didn’t believe Sheila when she said the Ted McGinley character looked familiar. No way, I’ve never seen that guy before, I said. Oops, IMDB told me he was Marcy’s second husband in Married With Children.
Harrison Ford does have the look of a Hollywood superstar who can afford the finest trainers and dieticians. Oh this is so sad: I loved Christa Miller in The Drew Carey Show and even somewhat on Scrubs. Then she had work done on her face. Ewwww, ladies, please, no, never. The recent Madonna pictures are cringey. Christa isn’t much better. I’d love to see what she’s look like without having that work done.
A picture of my bed warmers. They didn’t get to go to the brewery today and are very happy Sheila and I are home now.

Amidst the throes of the Great Depression, Americans were without many of life’s small pleasures. Ingredients were harder to come by because of sinking wages and work opportunities, so most of the 1930s were characterized by cheap, rationed meals of essential nutrients. In 1938, the popularization of the chocolate chip cookie was a much needed relief for many families craving an easy, inexpensive treat to satisfy children and adults alike. From a supposed happy accident to the icon of the Nestlé company, the history of the chocolate chip cookie reveals how a local favorite has the potential to explode in popularity onto a national level.
The most common tale of the creation of the chocolate chip cookie is attributed to Ruth Wakefield, the owner and operator of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. The story goes that Wakefield had run out of an ingredient (some sources claim it was nuts, others say butter) for her existing ice cream cookie recipe, and in a pinch, she chopped up a chocolate bar and added it to the dough instead. It is said that this last-minute improvisation was so successful that it became a permanent recipe in the kitchen, and soon after gained national fame.(1) However, as is common when exploring the origin of well-known innovations, there were some embellishments to the tale throughout its history. The true story of this delicious creation likely has less to do with coincidence and more to do with baking knowledge and business savvy.
Ruth Wakefield deserves a tremendous amount of credit for the popularization of the chocolate chip cookie, but evidence suggests that when she served them for the first time, similar cookies were already on the market in some places. As early as 1928, newspaper advertisements for a cookie that, for all intents and purposes, resembles the chocolate chip cookie were being circulated, meaning they were a delicacy already being sold in some bakeries and inns.(2) In that period, chocolate was more accessible than ever with cocoa powder on grocery store shelves, so naturally chocolate was slowly finding its place among common baked goods. As the culinary world increasingly embraced chocolate, innovative chefs like Wakefield added it into recipes for existing treats. Though she was not the sole inventor of the chocolate chip cookie, Wakefield’s real story is emblematic of the circumstances of the time, and the process by which the cookie was created.
The Toll House Inn, opened in 1930, was a small restaurant that Ruth Wakefield owned with her husband, Kenneth, which served travelers and locals alike. With her college education as a dietician and experience as a chef, Wakefield’s menu appealed to the masses, especially her hand-crafted desserts. The particular cookie that Wakefield first added “chipped” chocolate to was meant to accompany ice cream, a kind of drop cookie that was a crunchy side dish to compliment the smoothness of ice cream.(3) It is unlikely that the circumstances leading up to Wakefield’s famous “Chocolate Crunch Cookie,” which was published in her 1938 “Tried and True” cookbook, were anything but the result of baking skill and purposeful creation.(4) The simple yet delectable treat was a massive success, and the Toll House Inn boasted the patronage of names like Eleanor Roosevelt and Joe DiMaggio stopping in to try Wakefield’s chocolate chip cookies.(5) The true popularity boom came when Betty Crocker featured the recipe for Toll House chocolate chip cookies on her radio show, giving Americans a twist on a dessert made of inexpensive and widely available goods. In 1939, the Nestlé company acquired the recipe and the Toll House name from the Wakefields in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate and, arbitrarily, one dollar.(6)
The social importance of chocolate chip cookies was concretely verified during the years after the Nestlé deal, as the beginning of World War Two sent Americans overseas by the thousands. Soldiers in other countries craved a piece of home during their time away, and chocolate chip cookies became a staple of care packages sent to Europe and the Pacific Theater. Seeing an opportunity for profit, Nestlé and other chocolate companies ran advertisements encouraging women to bake cookies with what little chocolate was available to send overseas: “for that soldier boy of yours.”(7)
As chocolate chip cookies were being sent abroad, they were cemented into the minds of Americans as something to comfort us in hard times, just as they did during the Great Depression years before. The chocolate chip cookie, with its cheap ingredients, simple baking process, and warm, spirit-lifting sweetness, has defined the tastes of Americans since its creation in the early 20th century. The story of the Toll House Inn is representative of the kind of innovations that Americans were creating in the face of a massive financial depression, and how innovation is sometimes rewarded with national acclaim.
