Drink and eat more: You may not be eating enough or drinking enough fluids to keep up with the calories you are giving your baby while breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is certainly the best way to feed your baby; at this point, they should also be eating solids as well. However, you need to keep up your health. Please contact your doctor so you can be sure there is nothing else besides not enough calories causing this.
