Have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables,
iron rich foods like dry fruits, green leafy vegetables, meat, fish,chicken in case you eat non veg foods.
protein foods like egg, soya, pulses, beans, milk and its products ( about 400 to 500 ml per day)
whole grain like oats, Daliya, wheat, rice,Bajra.
have good intake of fluids and water
do not have dietary restrictions for healthy food as your requirements for breastfeeding are high and you may increase 1 to 2 portion of healthy food as compared to before.
