Ds2 is almost 11 months, ebf. I am going to be going on a very strict calorie controlled diet from Jan and I want to know whether my milk will dry up as my body will be using up the excess fat for energy..?
I am clinically obese, and have had several health scares over the past few years. I have seen my GP who has recommended (strongly) that I need to lose at least 3 stones. I am just wondering if by dieting, toxins will be released into my milk and whether this will harm DS? I love bfing, but know I have to do something soon if I want to be around for my children. I wouldn't be devastated to give up, more disappointed, but if it's possible then I'd ideally like to continue. Any success stories?
