“New parents need time to adjust to their new roles. Life may change dramatically, especially for a first time mother—many women say they didn’t feel prepared for the emotional upheaval they experienced on becoming a mum. Even experienced mothers can have difficulties juggling the needs of the new baby with those of older children. At this time a pair of practical helping hands can make a big difference by allowing a mother time to recover from the birth and establish breastfeeding.”

Influence of maternal diet on flavor transfer to amniotic fluid and breast milk and children’s responses: a systematic review
“Limited but consistent evidence indicates that flavors (alcohol, anise, carrot, garlic) originating from the maternal diet during pregnancy can transfer to and flavor amniotic fluid, and fetal flavor exposure increases acceptance of similarly flavored foods when re-exposed during infancy and potentially childhood. Moderate evidence indicates that flavors originating from the maternal diet during lactation (alcohol, anise/caraway, carrot, eucalyptus, garlic, mint) transmit to and flavor breast milk in a time-dependent manner.”
