Dieting and Breastfeeding exclusively!

[jenmcn1]

I have about 12lbs to lose I'm now 7 weeks postpartum. I exclusively breastfeed my daughter. I really want to lose the weight soon. If I wasn't bfing I know I could lose the weight, but I'm afraid that if I start dieting at this point my milk supply will diminish big time!! I want to exclusivly nurse for at least 6 months. Any advice on how many calories to consume while nursing AND trying to lose weight??

Hi,

Have you thought about trying slimming world? Those sorts of groups have no problem if your breastfeeding - you just have extra allowances of things and you can eat as much potatoes,pasta, rice etc as you need!
