Breastfeeding guilt
Show your support
I am in the same boat but have considered it due to medical reasons. If you are in contact with your health visitor, speak to her and she will direct you to a nursery nurse who can guide you
I did keto whilst breastfeeding? I stopped at 18 months with my first. Totally up to you when to do it. I think after a year it was mainly once in the morning and before bedtime anyway!
@Cheryl how did you manage keto with breastfeeding. I did it for one week and my supply dropped so badly
I'm sorry, I wouldn't advise Keto whilst breastfeeding. Baby will not be getting the right amount of carbohydrates and you will be dehydrated hence why your supply dropped. I did Keto for nearly a year just before pregnancy and I couldn't imagine how it would be whilst breastfeeding! If you want to lose weight, just control your portion sizes until you can properly wean. Just my 2 cents x
I remember it being summer and my son was at the childminder 8-6, so by then he was only nursing first thing, immediately on return and before bed and sometimes at 11ish. I didn't have any issues with my supply and was just attached to my water bottle during the day. If you find it problematic why not wait a bit longer or just make one of the meals or snacks keto friendly? There's no rush on this journey. Once they are toddlers we will be running behind them all the time 😄
Thanks ladies. Honestly I’m really struggling to accept this extra weight gain. I’m 5 ft 1 and currently weigh 90kg!! And I feel it in my joints and muscles 😣. I said to myself come January I’m gonna cut him off slowly so I can go back to a healthy weight. I’m watching what I eat but somehow I’m just adding on. I was 84kg after birth and 75-78kg before pregnancy . Anyway thanks for listening ☺️🙂
Haven’t stopped yet but also considering of whether I should stop as she started nursing so much through the night, it’s getting really tiring.
