WW and Breastfeeing
Hey ladies. I've been breastfeeding (pumping actually) since my DS was born almost 3 months ago. I rejoined WW last Tuesday and have noticed a significant decrease in my milk. I can barely keep up with DS and am having to give him formula once a day. Has anyone else had this same experience? If so, what did you do? I'm NOT ready to stop breastfeeding but I gotta get my supply back. Maybe quit WW? TIA!!

Re: WW and Breastfeeing
WW = Weight Watchers?
I would not diet while breastfeeding. I know lots of women do, but you need at least an extra 1000 calories per day to produce enough milk!
Yes...sorry...WW = weight watchers.
You get an extra 10 points a day just for nursing but I'm thinking it's not worth it if my supply decreases. I just hope I can get it back up!
Do you pump and bf or just bf? I would add in several pumps a day to get your supply back up. Don't lose hope!
DS never could latch on after many tries and even consultations so I pump exclusively and give him a bottle. I have added in pumping sessions and sometimes I get nothing. I think stress is playing a factor too. I've just got alot going on but I'm not ready to quit BFing. I'm trying to be positive. I guess WW has to go and I'll find another way to lose the 40 lbs I put on growing this LO.
