High-Protein Diet

A high-protein diet is generally safe and can be beneficial while breastfeeding, as protein needs are increased during lactation. Aim for a variety of protein sources — lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, dairy, and nuts. Just make sure you're also eating enough carbohydrates and fats for balanced nutrition and energy.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
