Please recomened a diet plan for me while breastfeeding my 8 month olld baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OK: Best to eat a normal diet with lots of milk and cheese. Continue taking your prenatal/ multivitamin. It is very important to drink lots of fluid to stay hydrated too provide suffient milk for the baby.
