Is it ok to go on a diet while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully: When you are nursing, you are passing nutrition to your baby so first and foremost eat a nutritious, well-balanced diet. Avoid any diet pills, shots, or supplements. Get reasonable exercise including and weight training. Some women lose their milk supply when they diet or lose weight rapidly, so monitor closely.
