question can i diet without making my supply decrease?

Question

just curious. i really want to breastfeed this time but also want to lose weight. i was already overweight before getting pregnant.  will it mess with my supple or depends? what about exercise?

Answer

I wouldn’t cut calories but you can definitely clean up your diet to include fruits, veggies, grains, and fats. 
Breastfeeding is largely depends on plenty of calories and water, in tandem with nursing. 
So I would avoid reducing your caloric intake and instead focus on eating good, whole foods.

Answer

I am planning on dieting once baby makes their appearance. I just think it’s making sure you’re getting enough calories to support breast feeding while still make smart food choices which are conducive to weight loss. Like no sugar and empty carbs, not over eating and eating lean protein whole grains fruits and veggies often and in small portions.
