Are there any supplements I can take for weight loss or appetite suppressants whilst breastfeeding?

Question

Please no judging. I ONLY will take things that are 100% safe. I workout and eat healthy/drink lots of water. I have a great milk supply and baby is fed and happy. I cannot lose these last few pounds and am looking for a little more self control. 🙄

Answer

I dont know about supplements I’d suggest asking your doctor but have you tried meal replacement shakes?

Answer

You can't reduce your food intake or your supply will drop. You can try to lower sugar and starchy carbs and increase protein and veggies. But restrictive dieting isn't good while breastfeeding because it will impact your supply and milk quality.

Answer

It will be hard, I’m doubt you can do both unless instead of cutting calories you just choose healthier options.
My sister was asked to diet after having her baby by her ex husband (hence why he’s the douche ex) and she was still breastfeeding, her daughter ended up loosing weight because of it. She felt massively guilty & ended up switching to formula. Hey daughter is now a happy & healthy 6 year old. 
I would consult both a lactation consultant & your GP before doing anything & then decided what’s best for you & your baby.

Answer

It’s super hard to cut calories and successfully breastfeed. But if you’re trying to drop the pounds you don’t need supplements, you need to burn more than you are eating. Therefore more exercise and less calories would do the trick (unless you have a medial condition).
