Any changes to your diet?

Has anyone changed your diet at all? If so, what did you change and why? The LC at my hospital just said to keep eating as I would if I was pregnant but to increase my calories. I didn't ask about coffee though. I only drank decaff during my pregnancy and am wondering if I can have some caffeine now that I'm nursing or if that would bother LO.

    I didn't change anything. I drank coffee every morning (1-2 cups to start). Try it and see how it goes; a few babies are sensitive, but most aren't.

    No changes in diet here because LO doesn't have any sensitivities.  I also consume caffeine in moderation.

    No changes. Pedi recommended one caffeinated beverage per day.

    I didn't change anything.  I tend not to drink things with caffeine often, but I didn't do much caffeine before my pregnancy either.

    I am eating healthier, mainly because I no longer have crazy cravings for all thing high in sugar and chocolate!  Also, I am trying to lose the baby weight, so that is making me eat healthier too.  And I have reintroduced diet sodas to my diet.  I'm not proud of it, but diet soda is my guilty pleasure.
