When the child is breastfeeding, what should the mother eat for the child's benefit?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The key to Mom's diet is a balanced nutrition, involving fish, meat, eggs, dairy, beans, fruits, and vegetables, but none should be in excess. Spicy, raw, cold, hard, overly salty, and overly sweet foods should all be avoided. Mom should exercise to improve her immunity, as not getting sick is the most important thing.
