Some thoughts...: Dieting not needed, as long as a breastfeeding woman eats only as many calories as needed to maintain her "normal pre-pregnant" weight. Example: if she was 120 pounds before pregnancy and is now 145 pounds, she should eat just enough for a 120 lb woman. Her 25-pound excess will be used up (disappear) in her production of breastmilk, as four 6-ounce servings of breastmilk use up about 500 calories.
