A member asked:
Can i take appetite suppressants or weight loss shakes while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight Loss: I do not think it is wise to do either while you are nursing. the act of nursing itself causes some weight loss, but to give your child all the nutrition it needs takes a lot of calories and energy. You can not do this while suppressing your appetite.
