 The first few months with your new born must have overwhelmed you. You must have been exhilarated and at the same time stressed out by the chores of your motherhood duties. Your infant must have consumed a better part of your time and energy leaving little for the other aspect of your life. For-tunately, your body has been preparing for breastfeeding since before childbirth without requiring any special diet or additional nutritional help other than a daily prenatal vitamin or a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. You will be enriched with all the nutrients you need from your diet, as long as you eat a healthy diet that includes foods from each of the major food groups in more or less the correct amounts. This basic diet will provide you with all the calcium, iron, protein, and other vital components you need to meet your nutritional needs.
