I am breastfeeding my new baby boy born on Sept 21. I am curious what kind of foods I should be eating lots of (I know the obvious like fruits and veggies and to stay away from sweets and beverages that aren’t good for me). I am curious what makes the milk come in really good and thick for my baby to get the most heathy milk. I currently eat lots of protein, carbs (pasta mainly), fish, fruits/veggies and drink lots of water and milk. Are there any other things I’m missing?
