Speaking as one who breastfed four babies: You don't really need a "special" diet to breastfeed your baby. If you are currently eating an excellent diet (enough protein, plenty of fruits and vegetables, etc), the only special thing you need to do is make sure you get plenty of calcium. What you do need to do is avoid junk foods that fill you up with lots of calories and not much nutrition (candy, soft drinks, etc).
No doubt experts will weigh in with much better answers than this, but this should ease your mind if you're eating well, and get you pointed in the right direction if you're not.
Enjoy your baby, and I wish you great satisfaction and success in breastfeeding!
