Keto while nursing a toddler

gypsytrkr

Any toddler moms doing keto out there? I've had so much luck with the lifestyle in the past, but with nursing and my son being in that stage where he eats nothing but carbs, it's super hard to stay on track. Also, my body insists there's going to be a famine when I'm breastfeeding so it refuses to burn any of this excessive fat off. Need friends to keep me in line and remind me this works. Looking for toddler friendly recipes too.

I would talk to your doctor and your childs pediatrician about nursing while doing a Keto diet
your toddler is old enough to eat foods and doesn't have to solely rely on your breast milk for nutrition so I would feed him a well balanced wide variety diet

Not eating enough carbs will harm your milk supply. I wouldn't go low carb until after you finish bf.

Thanks, but I wasn't asking your opinion on what my body needs, and I know what my toddler needs
