    Also, does your bf know how bad you are freaking out over this?
    That might be a way to put it to him. You're freaking out. Your diet isn't good for the baby. Your panic isn't good for the baby. He should be helping you find a solution. I understand he is doing his best. It's time to try something different though, and he needs to get on board.

    Any good doctor will tell you to limit salt if you are retaining water weight/bloating excessively. I've had 2 babies and was told BOTH times to limit salt intake because I was blowing up like a balloon. It is also true that breastfeeding burns more calories than formula feeding (obviously) so a mother can eat more calories.

    That's some of the problem with fast food. It tends to be high in salt.

    +1 for Aldi.... you can buy there WAYYYY less than other stores, especially for staples, in-season produce, etc.

    Limit your intake of salty foods. It can increase water retention, which could very well be putting on the extra pounds. You can exercise while pregnant. I put on 70 lbs when I was pregnant and all off it came off within a few months after delivery and I didn't breastfeed at all. Just eat the recommended amount of calories for a healthy pregnancy and log what you eat. Just know that if you do decide to breastfeed, you'll have to eat more calories to keep up your milk supply. However WIC will provide you with free formula if you decide not to breastfeed.

    I have decided to breastfeed. My family keeps telling me it will take up too much of my time though.

    Feeding your baby will take up too much time... what the actual f***????? :huh: :noway:

    Maybe she was going to get a wet nurse. So much time to be saved.

    Did you actually read the post I was quoting?

    I missed this reply.

    Are wet nurses still a common thing?

    I was under the impression that they are not.

    As such, I was joking.

    Ah, typed humor and its lack of subtle clues.

    You need to step up your game, geez!
