Ask your doctor what to eat after delivering your baby if you plan to nurse him. As a rule, your diet should be the same as during your pregnancy, with more intakes of milk and protein foods.

In the rural areas, clams with malunggay or sili leaves are given to nursing mothers to enable them to have more milk.

Your doctor may prescribe iron tablets or vitamin preparations. You must ask for his advice before taking any drugs.

Tension and other emotional problems and fatigue can reduce milk production of nursing mothers. So the best rule for a nursing mother to follow is to just relax and don't make yourself too tired.
