it does NOT have to be perfect to exclusively breastfeed your baby.
Before you get giddy and dive head-first into a cheesecake, take a deep breath. Your diet
should include enough calories to sustain your body and enough liquid to keep you hydrated. You
should try to eat well (you know, choose an apple over a brownie every so often, include a variety of whole foods, healthy fats), but we should
all try to eat well, breastfeeding or not. While our bodies do a pretty good job at getting our milk's nutritional content balanced, a healthy diet will positively impact every aspect of your life!
So, you're six months in. You've managed to bite your tongue when your Grandma insisted that you give your three week old a pork chop to help him "sleep through the night", you've waited until your baby is showing all the
signs of readiness, and you've started researching your baby's first foods.
