Calcium is an important part of our dietary intake. Despite our body’s ability in regulating calcium content in  our breastmilk for our babies regardless of our eating habits, our body compensates for the lack of calcium intakes by extracting calcium from our bones so that the body can produce adequate calcium in the breast milk for the baby. Interestingly, nature protects mother’s bone health through hormones that are protective on the bones throughout her breastfeeding journey, thus making it easy for her bone density to bounce back once a mother stops breastfeeding.
