Hey girl! Congratulations! Believe it or not, our babies were born on the same day....Trinity was born vaginally at 12:47 PM Oct 11th. Glad to see you back at it. Good luck w/ the little one and take care....is this your first? Sorry I can't really be any help with your question about BF. My little one breastfed once immediately after birth and decided she liked the bottle better!

Congrats on your adorable new baby!  Soooo sweet!I'm sure lots of mums will be in with advice for you, but my thinking is that if you're eating enough to maintain your weight on maintenance... and the baby thrives, then you're eating right. Just keep your diet varied. Happy times to you and Enviana!

You probably will have to up it a little bit. I am going to be breastfeeding, God willing, and I was told by the doctor and a lact. consultant that most women have problems breast feeding/keeping milk supply is because they mistakenly start cutting carb and calories after birth for weight loss or whatever reason. They said in order for me to keep a good supply of milk I needed to keep up the same guidleines of the pregnancy diet. Meaning, I have to maintain eating 300 more calories than prepregnancy to keep my milk supply up, which they recommend you do to keep healthy during pregnancy. Hope that helps!

I had my baby in mid May and wasn't able to lower my carbs until about 2 months after I had her. After that I had established my milk supply and was able to do induction comfortably without having my milk diminish and my baby is thriving and has been gaining weight normally. Since then I've been back on induction several times and my milk is never affected. Since BF can be such a trying time, I suggest you focus all of your energies on that and leave the carbs to after you are both comfortable with it.

Thanks everyone! I think I will take Meena's advice and wait til she's a couple months old then start. I want to make sure Enviana's health is priority, Im just so afraid if I dont start right away I'll go off the deep end! But I have to control myself, cuz that wouldnt be healthy for her either. It'd be so much easier if I just bottle fed her, but I'm selfish and I don't wanna lose that bonding/close time with her that I got with my 1st daughter. So that's the give and take of it I guess, I can't lose the weight for awhile, but oh well. Thanks everyone! I love my baby! lol so corny...

Baby is here! Breastfeeding and carbs question 
(theres no boobie and baby smiley lol) should I be having more carbs than I did on Maintenance before? I was eating around 50-60 carbs ok on Maint about a year and a half ago. But now that Im breastfeeding do u think I should up that a little bit? I don't wanna chance the baby not getting enough of anything, or running down my body either. Any suggestions to what the other BF moms are eating would be helpful. Thanks!
