28 year old mom with ms. breastfeeding. not postpartum. is dieting ok? how many calories should i take in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dieting: You really shouldn't be dieting while breast feeding. You burn a lot of calories while producing breast milk and need a balanced diet. You can cut out carbs, fried foods, soda, junk food, etc., but certainly don't starve yourself. Just eat a healthy balanced diet.
