Q: what can i use to gain weight while breastfeeding ive been struggling with weight ever since?

: Breastfeeding takes about 400+/- calories a day from your system. Focusing on good balanced nutrition with the addition of calorie dense foods like lean meats, nuts, etc. that would replace the calorie value lost can stabilize or increase weight. You may want to work with a dietitian to pick out foods that would make this work for you.
