Hi Mam – Thanks for your good question . I do not think there are special diets available for normal or cesarean .You can go for all healthy foods like a common lactating mother. As you are a lactating mother you need to take care a very good quality foods/meals. You also note to by healthy diet can increase breast milk for your baby. Please add reasonable cereals, legumes, pulses soupy, plenty of all types vegetables ,fruits. You can have meals like Oat,Poha,Porridge,Dalia in Break fast or some times you are hungry. Nuts group, banana,whole skins all. Remember you need more high calcium that you can have from dairy products,Carbohydrate enriched with quality all types proteins.Its about 2400 kcal/day Energy you need.Most importantly take little more fresh water than you we consume normally,No stress.Do not eat all foods from street,out side full of oils,spicy ,so no junk,fast foods,fried foods,.Prefer simple home made quality foods as pointed out already.Be aware of stress.
