Do I need to change my diet if I am breast feeding?

In the same way that you did not need to eat for two in preganancy, you do not need to now. However, remember that you body makes the milk from the nutrients your body provides. So while you will need to eat plenty, its the quality rather than quanity you need to think about. A well balanced diet which includes plenty of fluids is ideal. Spicy foods and alcohol can filter through to breast mild so it is often best to avoid these.
