Increase your fluids- Water, juices, milk's. Try to eat whole grains, vegetables and lean meats. Remember everything you eat effects the milk your body is producing. If you access Weight watchers web site and look at the core food list that will provide you with a list of unprocessed foods. Avoid sugar , caffeine, and any chemicals you are able to. ** Get plenty of rest. Stress and being over tired lower your ability to produce milk. I breast fed my daughter for two years, so my advise will work. I wish you lots of luck. Please do not let anyone talk you out of breast feeding your child. I used a blanket and a shirt flap and fed my child everywhere. Do not be shamed into feeding in a bathroom or hiding. There are breast feeding support groups out there - Use goggle search to find the support you need. Do not give up.

No food is going to make you lactate more than any other food. You just need to worry about eating a healthy diet and drinking your daily amount of fluids to provide proper nutrition to you and your baby. If you want to produce a bigger milk supply, pump or nurse more frequently. Your breastmilk production works on a supply and demand basis. The more stimulation your breasts get through pumping/nursing, the more milk your body will produce.

Actually, liquids are more important. Food & drink high in calcium, as a baby get all it's bones from mom. Just make sure she has a balanced diet. No dieting, or mass amounts of junk food.
Drink milk, eat cheeses, to keep her own calcium up.
Give in to most cravings still...they tell you what you are low on.
I must have needed calcium...I drank almost 3 gallons of milk a week while pregnant & lactating! I didn't gain too much weight & lost most of it while nursing.

lot of water, fruits, veggies, and whole grains! Try and stay away from high fat foods, spicy food, and gas producing foods like broccoli. Also stay away from anything that has caffeine in it.
