Keto and breastfeeding

Angelixa

I was wondering if any mom out there have done keto while breastfeeding and if so how did it affect your milk supply?

I have always had trouble losing weight and about 5 years ago I found out I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). This effects everyone who has it differently I have learned but with me I have to eat low carb in order to lose weight.

I did it before I got pregnant and I think it was one of the main reason I even got pregnant to begin with. I had lost 30lbs before I found out.

Now that the holidays are over and I have figured out my life with a baby now I want to get serious about losing weight and being heathy.

I want to try keto but I’m scared of how this will or even if it will affect my milk supply. She has also formula fed so she won’t go hungry but I like breastfeeding her for those extra nutrients.
