First of all, Nisha, congratulations on your new baby.
You should be very proud of yourself for bringing someone conscienciously into the world.
There are so many people that have children and then don't do the best thing for that child but instead go for what is most convenient to themselves or their career.
First read the chapters:
Start with the Best, the Breast
Foods for Breastfeeding Moms in the book
in "Feeding the Whole Family"
(
http://www.feedingfamily.com/ )
Cynthia Lair says that the great foods for breastfeeding moms are Grains (quinoa, millet, sweet brown rice [mochi]. Beans (chickpeas, pinto and navy beans, lentils, split peas, soyfoods) Vegetables (anything dark green or orange), Fruits (oranges, lemons, berries, grapes, grapefruit, apricots, peaches, melon), Nuts and Seeds (almonds, pine nuts, sesame and pumpkin seeds) Sea Vegetables (dulse, hiziki, arame, wakame), Dairy (organic yogurts, and cheeses, fresh goat milks and cheeses), and Fish and Poultry (fresh fish; free-range, organically fed poultry and eggs from them).
Apparenttly eating some animal foods properly is macrobiotic.

Good breastfeeding to you and your baby.
Thank you, very much.
