There is no special dietary requirements as long as the mother is able to eat a well balanced diet. We all consume a mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. You should be eating cereals, pulses, dairy products and fruits and vegetables.. nnFluid intake is important because breast milk is mostly fluid, so you have to make sure you drink adequate amounts of fluid in addition to consuming a well balanced diet.. nnIf you are known to be deficient in certain minerals, like if you have a Vitamin D deficiency or iron deficiency, then it pays to take some supplements yourself so that the breast milk that is produced has these minerals..
