Absolutely,after all,human milk is formed from nutrients from your body,which in turn is healthy as long as you're taking a good healthy balanced diet.
Also,it's mandatory for you to take iron,calcium and vit D supplement till your baby is 6 months old,because at that age,you need to wean the baby from breastfeeds.
