breastfeeding diet

after surveying thru the net and few hardcopy readings, these are my routine drinks and foods for the purpose of better milk's quantity and quality.
Drinks:
+ 8 glasses of water. I have trouble counting and memorizing how many glasses i had so i made myself drink 1 glass @ every odd hr from 5am-7pm (5am, 7am, 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7pm) it works well!!
+ anmum lacta twice daily during breakfast and before going to bed.
+ horlicks or milo for evening tea. Trying getting rid of nescafe. But i had it sumtimes once in 2 weeks.
+ soya beans and fruit juices before or/and after feeding
+ milkmaid tea. Haven't try yet, just bought yesterday.
Foods:
+ strictly no rice! I've gained 17kg and only lost 6kg during 1month checkup. I'm taking oat as my nasi!
+ green leafy vegie
+ sardine, tuna, salmön
+ bread
