Can someone give a sample diet for breastfeeding?
What will I need to eat in order to make sure my milk supply is sufficient & healthy, and to ensure that I’m not gaining too much weight. Best Answer will go to someone who actually gives a meal plan including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with calories.
Thanks in advance!
Honestly, the dietary needs for lactating women vary greatly. My sister is breastfeeding now and she eats about 3000 calories per day and isn’t gaining any weight..in fact, she’s losing weight!
Your body will make breast milk the same way no matter what you eat. Just be sure you’re not eating foods with harsh chemical additives, which can be transmitted to your baby via breast milk. But as far as specific foods you eat, it won’t matter. Your genes know how to make milk, and they’ll use your fat reserves to make it. 
It’s so cool how our bodies can make food like that, isn’t it ?!
You can find some good ideas on suggested foods at La Leche League, a cool organization that promotes healthy breast feeding. You will want to try several of their suggestions to find out what works for your body.
You will probably lose weight while breastfeeding. It’s normal for your body to put on some weight during pregnancy, and that excess weight is used up to make milk while you raise your child. Most women lose weight while nursing.
