Weight loss when BF
I've been debating going back to slimming world but read online that losing weight can affect breast milk supply. Whenever I've done it in the past I've lost a fair bit in the first week. Any advice?

Personally I’m not going to worry about it until I’m done breastfeeding. Just trying to focus on moving my body, eating a well balanced diet with protein and fiber to hopefully maintain weight. I BF my first till 8 months and it wasn’t till I stopped that I began to lose weight naturally. I think some people just hold on to it when BF.
I don't have a lot to lose, maybe a stone but for me it's more for the healthy eating. I found following slimming world forced me eat healthy. I worry I'm just eating rubbish and lack the control if that makes sense. I also miss the SW group.

As long as you’re keeping up with your calories and protein and eating healthy it shouldn’t be a problem. But if you cut out a ton of calories then it will. You don’t have to eat a TON! but like don’t go down to 1000 calories. Like probably stay 1300 or higher
