I am curious if anyone on here has any experience with doing the keto diet and breastfeeding..... did your production decrease at all?

This is a time when I'll say: ask your doctor.4

I breastfed my youngest while keto. No supply decrease as I was eating enough and was determined to stay hydrated. He was in the 90th percentile decade for height and weight the whole time. As long as you are eating enough and drinking enough, your body will make enough milk. My diet was doctor approved (limiting carbs), btw, as gestational diabetes lingered after his birth. After 6mo, my A1c was back to normal.1

My Ob has no issue with it. Just stay hydrated and get your calories in!2

I believe you just need plenty of calories and water, but I'd email your doctor and see what she says.1
