A good question .
Drink about a liter of milk if you are breastfeeding .
Have plenty of green vegetables and fruits .
Protein is a must - eggs, fish , chicken , daal paneer , soyabean
Move around . Take care of your baby yourself . Do not stress on any account . Try to complete your 8 hrs of sleep .
Avoid ghee and fat in any form that we take traditionally . Don’t get obese .
Must have enough privacy to feed your baby at its due time .
