Re: bfl while breastfeeding-is it possible?

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

It shouldn't be a problem at all, just make sure to keep the caloric intake up

AND, very important, get enough rest. It's hard with a baby, but extra

important to give your body a chance to recover properly. : )

Hello all. I did bfl several years ago before kids and was very

pleased with the results. Now I have a 6-month old (my 3rd) who is

exclusively breastfed. Is it possible to do bfl while breastfeeding?

Does it decrease your milk supply? Has anyone done it? I should

mention I am also training for a half marathon in January. When I

begin increase my mileage, I have to increase my caloric intake so my

supply stays up. Can anyone offer any help/suggestions? I would really

appreciate it!!

Thanks, S.

I breast fed years ago and worked out but probably not as BFL intensive. I'd

suggest really watching the water intake and making getting your fluid a

priority. Also, you'll need probably more milk/calcium so make sure you get

a good supplement. I'd say the exercise was fine, and eating bfl style

meals is fine, but if you are hungry, EAT. (not junk just more of the same)

You are doing the most important thing you can ever do and that's feed your

baby. Watch your milk production and baby's personality, if baby gets crabby

or hungry, you may have to adjust.

And remember, some of the weight you have right now is due to the breast

feeding mechanism. I lost 10-20 pounds after weaning my kids.

Thanks girls for the encouragement! I think I may go for it and see

how it goes. I just don't want to shortchange my little guy

Have you checked with La Leche League? They usually have a lot of

information on anything related to breastfeeding. I joined them when I

nursed my son 13 years ago.
