Another challenge
I am feeling frustrated. I've been trying hard to lose more weight and now it has affected my baby's health. I know I'm not getting enough calories to keep my milk supply up for Miss Hannahbug. I had a terrible time with this when I was nursing Becka, had to quit at 4 months, then with Jake, I met a WONDERFUL lactation consultant who helped me figure it out and get over the crummy 4 month low supply issue and I nursed him for a year. I didn't have any problems with Rachie, so I wasn't expecting any with Hannah. Well, I was wrong! So, I'm going to try and focus on eating healthily, getting a moderate amount of exercise and taking the herbs I need to take to get my milk back up where it needs to be for her. I want to lose weight, but breastfeeding her is more important to me, so I'm willing to wait on the really low cal diet until after we are done nursing. Heck, I've been overweight for 12 years, what's another one? :) I just get frustrated because it seems like other women don't have to deal with this issue, and they are skinny. Ugh!

Heidi~ I know exactlly what you mean! I am going through the same struggles. It is really hard to juggle both, really like you said u can't because then you loose your milk.
