Hello I am still breastfeeding my nearly 14 month old. Does breastfeeding still help to sway pink at this stage or is it only in the first 6 months when you are feeding lots. I only feed my little one twice a day now. Thanks :)

It didn't work for me as i'm preggo with DS2 and got pregnant breastfeeding ds1 when he was exactly that age. I have to say my diet was totally opposite to the LE diet and i got pregnant before i could start swaying (I discovered all about it the month we had already started ttc)...Quote:

It is supposed to help sway pink but it's not a guarantee. I got pregnant with DS2 while nursing DS1.
I got a DD from Breastfeeding my DS3 6-8 times a day. I was in the process of weaning my DS2 and feeding him only once a day when I got pregnant with my DS3. I think if it sways, it matters how frequently you feed and your diet. I led a strict LE diet and did cardio only.
🤞🏻for you!

[emoji254]Thank you Gender Dreaming for our precious little girl![emoji254]
Thanks so much for your replies ladies. It’s difficult isn’t it because I needed to reduce feeds to get my period back again but then feeding less probably means less likely to help sway! Very annoying!!
I believe strongly that breastfeeding sways pink. I have a big long explanation about why and how and why you cannot always see this obviously in the population if anyone wants to hear it.
YES it still helps even if only nursing 1x a day. Nursing has an effect on your body and if you're doing it even a little, it has that effect.
:agree: nursing more may help, but it still does something even at 1x a day.Quote:

Thank you for this Atomic :) I would love to hear your explanation on this but I know you are very busy so only if you have the chance at any time.Quote:

The LE Diet is based on recommendations from the World Health Organization and reproductive endocrinologists as a healthy and safe prepregnancy diet. it is NORMAL food intake. NORMAL. 100% normal. It is simply the low end of normal, the amount many women eat all the time just as a matter of course.Quote:

I like you guys to eat upper levels while nursing 1800-2000 cals a day, 50-60 g protein and fat...now only 2x a day you may not need to do that. As I always recommend, let your weight loss and milk supply guide you. If you start making less milk and/or lose weight quickly, eat more.
Additionally just to be sure you are aware of this, all low carb veg are free and unlimited - you can have as much as you want, no need to count calories or nutrients at all. And higher carb fruit and vegetables are free for protein and fat, you count only calories in them, so you can have even more protein and fat coming in.
Hi
Just wondering if any bf frequency tends to sway pink? I am only expressing milk 1-2 a day, it's not a lot 5oz a day,
Yes it still sways pink because it's the physical state of lactation that sways. Maybe not as much as if you were nursing more, but it still helps
Out of curiosity I'd love to hear wht and how breastfeeding sways pink!Quote:

What I believe is actually swaying pink is our body's gentle, natural methods of suppressing fertility as a kind of primitive birth control. So when we lose weight, don't eat enough, exercise too much, are nursing our bodies do this thing where it's just a little harder to get pregnant and something about this sways pink.
SO nursing, since we know for sure it does slightly suppress fertility while still possible for many people (virtually everyone over the course of time) to get pregnant, sways pink that way.
This is NOT obvious in the general population though because a woman whose fertility comes roaring back fast after having a baby and nursing may be more set for blue even though she's still nursing because it's not about breastfeeding per se, it's about fertility. Whereas another person may take ages for her cycle to return even if she's not nursing that much, so it's just really not something you can see when you compare two people.
