Role of breastfeeding is small compared to preg weight gain, dietary
practices, and physical activity.
the above is what I see in practice, ie; occasionally a mom will come to
group with a concern about >2lb/week wt loss, concern to the point of considering
not BF, ..usually is a mom who was not overwt prepreg, ...we discuss and list
high calorie/nutritional foods, ... often the report back is that she has to
work at eating enough so as to not continue excessive wt loss.
