Just my .02 - Looking for someone to post more knowledgeable than I to
explain this study to me. I thought that it is the fat stores acquired
during pregnancy which support breast feeding, and that for this reason
it may be why some women have a harder time losing the extra wt from
their hips and thighs when breast feeding, therefore I'm confused to the
idea that excessive wt gain (more than 35lbs - but how much more?)in
pregnancy would have such a profound affect on milk supply.I'm also
wondering about the zillion other things which could factor into low
milk supply and were they considered? Also, I was surprised to learn
from the study that a woman is considered obese if she gains more that
35lbs during pregnancy when she was of normal wt prior to becoming
pregnant. I'd like to hear others thoughts on this pg wt gain/lactation
issue. Thanks for all your enlightenment. Mary, LLLL
