RESULTS

"It has affected us a lot since, as I said, at the moment, I am really unemployed, depending on savings... now we have to prioritize certain things, as everything is running out, we start buying, because we no longer have so much money.""It doesn't make it difficult for us to access food, because my parents support us.... Indeed, to treat ourselves, yes"."I work, but I am on leave, so I get paid for all my leave.""It did for me because I became unemployed... it didn't make access difficult because my partner continued with his normal salary... I asked for social benefits at the municipality so it didn't affect my food access.""You could see the long lines to get food"."There was a huge difference ... there are no vegan products as such ... access to products for moms who have ACMP is very difficult within the commune"."Being with pandemic has not been a negative impact on breastfeeding ... quite the contrary, by the fact of always being at home, being able to be calmer, not having to be with the worries of having to be breastfeeding outdoors, which is uncomfortable, or having to be in other public places"."What I have had a hard time with is the issue of fairs ... what is missing is the vegetables, that is not handled as before"."The pandemic changes everything because before the pandemic I used to shop for a week or a month ... and now I shop for two or three months so that I wouldn't be out of stock."Now I do not buy every month ... I used to buy milk every month and for example when I saw that I had two left I would buy more ... as everything runs out I buy more, because I no longer have so much money.""Vegetable milk is one of the most expensive foods within the vegans then I had to decrease consumption ... potato and onion that also had a price increase"."We like everything that is drier, what is most available is: rice, noodles and legumes.""Everything, especially dairy products, frozen foods, meats""We have made a habit now of buying little packets of individual cookies""I stopped eating some foods because I was breastfeeding and now that my daughter is a little older I have started eating again...foods that bloat, and I started eating more fruits and vegetables when I started breastfeeding.""I have incorporated water into my life ... eat more fruits, more vegetables, salads ... now with breastfeeding ... I am more organized with my schedule ... I have stopped drinking and all the sweets I ate before breastfeeding"."We learned to make new preparations such as cupcakes.""For us who consume more plant-based foods, the change was not so great"."My diet before breastfeeding was actually not very good and has changed significantly.""Twice a day, milk, lots of dairy products, in my house I used to eat more dairy products with my daughter, fruit twice a day and lunch twice a week, vegetables always accompanied with salad, bread at breakfast and not at lunch, bread at breakfast and at eleven o'clock, always trying to alternate proteins, meats, chicken".
