You might want to ask your doctor for a referral to a dietician for some individualised advice.
In the meantime, this list should give you a few more ideas:

Falafel with hummus is very healthy but higher calorie - I would make some in lettuce wraps with tzatziki. Guacamole added to a mexican dish - soup, meat, as a dip for veggies - adds some nice calories.
Adding extra seeds or nuts to salads and other veggie dishes will add in some extra healthy calories, too

Add oils to whatever you are cooking: rice with olive oil, pasta with oil, full fat salad dressing on veggies, coconut oil,

Avocado is also good.

In short: more oil, more nuts, more avocado, more dried fruit, more fatty cuts of meat and fatty fish.

There may be some good ideas in the "gaining" thread too!

RoteBook

Is the issue that you're losing too much weight, or that the baby isn't gaining quickly enough? A local, certified lactation consultant can help with bfing issues. For example there are ways to help ensure that your baby is getting more of the higher calorie hind milk and less of the lower calorie fore milk.

Here's a link to La Leche League, which has meetings and counsellors: http://www.llli.org

These granola bars were an awesome snack when I was nursing: http://dailymom.com/nurture/boost-your-supply-at-breakfast-breastfeeding-granola-bars/

I had to sub out some ingredients because of food allergies, but they're easy to modify.

Peanut butter, avocados, nuts and beans and olive and coconut oils.
