Mom struggles w/ this every day. It is my first priority but admittedly I don't think I know enough about it.
This is what I think I know:
She needs insulin when her sugar is high and she needs juice/protein when her sugar is low?
Answer

What not to eat while breastfeeding, and what's good to eat?
Stacey
I am 39 weeks with baby #3 and I've never breastfed but with this being my last I don't want to miss the opportunity to breastfeed. I tried with my younger two, but it was too painful, but I'm not giving up so easy with this one, I'm determined. I've heard there are things you can't/shouldn't eat, (like chocolate?) and I'd like to know what they are and why. I know the obvious, like alcohol and drugs, but what are the "normal" things that you can't eat. I would also like to know if there's anything that's really good to eat while breast feeding (what will help milk production)? Thanks :)
Answer
My sister in law used to eat a little bit of cooked liver each day . . . the B vitamins really helped her milk to flow.
Virgin or Pure Coconut oil is also excellent to eat, as it has many health benefits, indeed:

I have no personal experience at breast feeding,
so I found a few more sites with info that look very helpful:
