How much weight can be lost per week while breast feeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would consult a clinical nutritionist (hospital/med school) for guidance. If you have a balanced diet with vitamin supplements that assure both you and baby get proper nutrition I would target 1/2 pound/week. More may be possible but puts you both at risk of not maintaining a good balance for long term health.
