Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hey Jenn, It may be best to check with your doctor first, just to be on the safe side. But, I think maybe, as long as you are taking your prenatals, and eating healthy, it should be ok. Check with your OB-GYN to be sure though. ) _________________________________________________________________________ In a message dated 8/23/2004 5:13:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time, jenniferstewart@... writes: I haven't actually started the BFL program, however, I have been looking into it and am getting ready to start within the next couple of weeks.

Are there any supplements that are safe to take while breastfeeding? Are they as important as I am assuming they are? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have kids so can't help you on tips but I recall reading some posts awhile back (months ago) on the topic. If you don't get replies, you can do a search at groups and see if you get any info.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi, I'm also ! And I'm doing BFL while BFing. I suggest staying away from supplements except for flax oil and a good protein powder. You don't need anything else. Be patient with everything since the weight will come off slowly -- your body holds onto fat in order to make the milk. Make sure you add 500 calories to your daily intake to provide for this milk production. I've read a lot of things that say don't go under 1500 cals a day and some that say don't go under 1800 cals a day. I'd say if you're starving or your baby isn't gaining weight, then increase your cal intake. Also, be sure to get 30% fat, instead of the normal 20% on BFL. Feel free to email me if you'd like. I started eating the BFL way again back in July and I've only recently been able to get 5 days of workouts in (not always getting in all the weight workouts), but I have lost an inch so far in about 7 weeks.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I meant to say an inch in my waist. I've lost a little bit in other places, but I'm mostly concerned with my waist right now and getting back into my pre-PG jeans. -JB I have lost an inch so far > in about 7 weeks. > > HTH, > Jen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
