Will me not eating 3 meals a day while breastfeeding reduce my milk supply? i seem to only eat 1-2 meals per day

Breast milk : I am guessing you know the answer. If you don't eat you will make less milk. You will also contribute to more breakdown of your own body stores of calcium etc and have trouble if your own. Eat right and as often as needed. You are eating for two! If you want to lose weight then exercise and eat wisely. If you don't like this use formula instead. It would be better if you take care of U!

Rest and fluids: and healthy diet, are the most important for a nursing mother, remember, breastfeeding is almost a full time job, good luck
