What is the best diet to follow whilst breast feeding?

weight watchers does a plan that allows extra points for breast feeding.

You need to keep a certain level of calories or your milk supply reduces. Cutting down on food too much will affect your supply

Eat foods containing vitamin B 9. In Western countries, the only vitamin really lacking in women's diets is vitamin B 9 (folic acid). Birth control pills accentuate a woman's vitamin B 9 deficit, and can also contribute to a deficiency of vitamin B 6. During pregnancy, folic acid is essential for developing baby's nervous system.
