What is your opinion of trying to lose weight whilst breastfeeding? DS

is getting most (?) of his nutrition via solids now so on one hand I

think it would be ok to cut back on the carbs although this is proving

difficult, but OTOH I am worried about mucking around with the

breastmilk. I can't see anything wrong with trying to adopt a more

traditional type diet because that's how mothers have been eating for

centuries, right? Would it be bad to go into ketosis? It would surely

travel through to the milk but can't see how that would be a bad thing.

Thanks
