A mi niño me lo violaron cuando él tenía cinco años. Yo estaba en la dieta de la otra niña que yo había tenido y tuve mucho miedo para poner la denuncia de que mi familia me reprochara lo que había pasado llevado a casa que yo era una madre soltera y ese fue el motivo que me llené de un gran miedo, pero luego pasaron los años se hizo un niño ejemplar conmigo.
This is a from a letter to immigration authorities. I'm not sure if this means she was receiving an allowance/stipend for the daughter, or breastfeeding her daughter? Thanks in advance for any input.

(into) nursing
Yo estaba en la dieta de la otra niña : 'I had been (into) nursing the other child (the daughter)' - possibly sounds more 'natural'.

Reference:
Although I originally doubted that this would be the meaning, in the light of subsequent comments I would just add that the postpartum (or postnatal) period begins after childbirth and is typically considered to end within 6 weeks.
I think 'postnatal' is probably the most common form in plain but formal English.
In informal speech, the notion can be expressed in several ways, such as "I was not long after my first child/It was not long after I had my daughter"... etc

Discussion
I think "breastfeeding period" is a good "contender" (quoting Neil :-) here.
