Greetings, everyone. I’m new here and just wanted some opinions from women here who IF while breastfeeding. Did your supply slow once you started? My little one is 16 months old, so he is mostly eating solids anyway, but I would hate for my supply to completely dry up once I cut my calorie intake.
I have PCOS and am taking meds for hypothyroidism as well, if anyone with those diagnoses would provide some advice for a newbie 😁 Restrictived diets have never worked for me, but I’m hoping maybe something like this could. I’m down about 40 pounds since I had my kid (gym 3 times a week) but the scales haven’t moved at all in weeks.
It’s been a minute since I bf’d my kids. I went to 2.5y with second child.
That said, I wouldn’t do IF while bf. Your body needs the regular nutrition.
I’d put my energy into eating really well, (healthy as you can/no crap) hydration, keep up your exercise/work on sleep and you can get to IF when you complete bf. It’s a short time, relatively speaking and you can look after yourself in other ways in the meantime. Just my opinion
