Mediterranean: The variety of foods on the med diet is critical to promote optimal human health. When breast feeding the demands for protein and fats are high. 5-7 servings of vegetables and 2-3 servings of fruit are the foundation of the diet. Add 20 grams of protein to the basic requirement of 45 grams daily for the average woman. Get 3 grams of epa/dha omega 3 fish oil for baby's brain development.
