Is it harmful to follow a low-calorie diet while breastfeeding?

Hello Ma'am,

Yes, this is not recommended.

You need to make sure that you are eating a balanced diet that is rich enough to ensure that your child is getting the nutrients they need to grow, but more importantly, that those nutrients are not coming from your stores. If their diet is "deficient", breastfeeding women tend to "dip" into their nutrient stores and this has serious long-term health consequences.

Happy day,

Alexander
