A. You don’t need a special diet during breastfeeding, but what you eat does need to be nutritionally balanced. That means plenty of fruit and vegetables, as well as whole grains such as oats, brown rice, and cereals and breads labelled ‘wholegrain’, ‘wholemeal’ or ‘wholewheat’. These foods, as well as potatoes, pasta and couscous, are also high in starch, an important source of energy. You need lean protein too – good sources include chicken, eggs, pulses, lentils, fish and lean beef – and healthy fats, found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocados and oily fish such as salmon or mackerel. Oily fish is good for your health and your baby’s development, but you shouldn’t have more than two portions – around 140 g (5 oz) – of oily fish (or more than one portion of swordfish, shark or marlin) a week, as these may contain pollutants.1
