Breastfeeding and swaying... tips please :)

[happyheart]

Hello :)

I am breastfeeding my 17 month old son and would love to know any tips to help along with the diet and suppls. What can I take and not take? Any tips for a good sway while nursing?

Thank you so much!!! :) :) :)

There is a Sticky about swaying and breastfeeding around here somewhere...

I am nursing my 24 month old and I am taking calcium/mag, cranberry, fiber supps, acidopholus (sp) and I think that's about it! I know the baby asprin and the saw pometto (sp) are not to be taken when nursing. I may take an antihistime the day of my attempt but I know this can reduce milk supply.

I am doing a low calorie diet and staying away from the big no-nos like potatoes and bananas. I am minimizing my protein and salt intakes. I think you have to be careful with diet when nursing because if you are like me, you can get really hungry and then end up eating a lot! I have upped my intakes a bit to try and avoid this.

Good luck!
