    You can definitely work out while breastfeeding!!!!

    I'm down to night feedings only, but set my net calorie goal at 1800 calories to account for the BFing I do. I eat back my exercise calories on top of that, so am eating approximately 2000-2200 calories/day. I've been losing weight consistently at approximately 1 lb/week.

    The only thing that I've found has ever affected my supply (other than more or less nursing by my daughter, obviously) is if I don't drink enough. If I'm not hydrated, my supply definitely suffers. I try to drink 72 oz of water + other drinks a day.
