Breastfeeding?
 

Hi ladies (sorry for all the questions).

I know breasfeeding is not encouraged while in MF. My coach told me that you can start once your child is no longer getting more than 30% of their nutrition from you.

My daughter is 13 months old (almost 14 months :fr: can't believe it). She doesn't really nurse other than when she wakes up and right before bed. I'm assuming this is fine, since i know that isn't 30%, but I'm just wondering if there were any other Mama's who breastfed a bit while on it.

I'm assuming my milk supply will either drop or disappear completely... what was your experience?

I ended breastfeeding several month before starting but I would suggest asking her pediatrician before starting medifast just to be sure. Sounds like she is far enough along to switch to a bottle or sippy cup if you need it. Welcome to the medifast club!

I went on the 5 & 1 and my milk supply practically vanished. I had to stop because my son was needing a lot more milk from me than that. However, they do have a breastfeeding mothers plan. Beware though.....people on the blogs can attack you if they see you are veering away from the 5 & 1 plan because they don't stop to see that you're doing the breastfeeding mothers plan.
