Who is drinking milk as part of their sway? How much are you hsving a day? I am not having any now mostly because I think it's a waste of my protein intake and I want to use it to eat more filling food like pasta. I am having a yogurt and taking a calcium supplement.
I drink about 2 cups a day:) Also eating about 1-2 cups of yoghurt too:) I'm also nursing a 12 mos old.... :D
I am nursing a 16mth old... no milk at all. I am taking calcium pills and whatever calcium is in the foods I eat, including roasted sesame seeds (mixed with 1-2 tbsps of fat-free greek yogurt) to flavor salads or fruit. I may have ice cream 1-2x's a week.
I have half a cup steamed up in my decaf coffee twice a day :bigsmile:, love it, itīs one of the treats that keeps me going!
I drink three cups of skim a day. I am nursing a 23 month old. I love milk!
Is that too much? Now you all have me wondering!
Sorry...didn't mean to make it look like you need dairy to nurse... :) I only said it because I am HUNGRY ALL.THE.TIME....which is why I'm eating so damn much ;) LOLQuote:

I drank a lot of dairy while nursing DS1 and he is allergic to dairy now so I choice to limited dairy as much as possible with all/any future nursing babes. If I wasn't nursing I would probably drink milk every 1-2 hours and then eat 1 meal a day and nothing else.Quote:

I'm drinking a mug of skimmed milk a day. I am taking the cal tablets but like you don't want to waste all my protein on milk
Are you having one cup as you think it's important to have some???
