A lactating mother needs a balanced diet. Enough energy giving food as well as vegetables, but especially a diet rich in protein and lots of fluid. This should sustain the mother's health needs as well as provide sufficient breast milk for the baby. Lactating mother should also find out from her health practioner on the need for supplementary calcium where applicable.
