Has dieting and reducing your calorie intake effected anyone's milk production at all? I would rather carry the extra weight than lose my milk.


thanks!

    I lost my milk due to a thyroid problem 4 and a half months postpartum. Before that I was on a 1800-2000 cal/day, I lost about 17kg (37.5lbs) in those 4.5 months.
