"I have 1-2 mothers a month from my "stylish" part of town whose milk
supplies plummet when they restrict calories and work out excessively at
the gym in order to get back into their size 6 clothes. With a resumtion of
caloric intake they regain their supplies."
Pat,
Can you put a figure to the restricted calorie intake and excessive work
out? I've been asked to get some info on weight loss during lactation and so
far I understand that restricting calorie intake below 1500 - 1800 kcalories
can have an effect on milk production. Do these women limit below this?
