About the "I'm breastfeeding" blog

I'm creating this blog to help new mums with breastfeeding problems .   I will try to share my experience with breastfeeding, especially focusing on new mum's diet . When I was starting to breastfeed it was really hard for me to find breastfeeding cooking recipes and also to find out what breastfeeding mum should eat and what she should avoid. I will post information what food is relatively safe when nursing and what should not be found on our plates.  I would also like to underline that advice found here is based on my experience and research in the Internet so should not be treated as medical advice. I hope you'll find this blog helpful:) Enjoy breastfeeding:)
