Hi as PP have stated, it depends on baby's age/food consumption. I'm feeding my 3 month old and 18 month old and I'd also love some more information or hear experience from others. I was only advised to take extra hexAs for the 3 month old and to gradually reduce these when she turns 6 months and is eating solids. I wasn't advised about the older baby! I have lost 12.5 lb in my first two weeks though! Only 6lb more to go of baby weight, the other stone was there before the babies!!! Being honest, I was afraid it would have an impact on supply so I haven't been weighing milk/cheese. I know weight loss will slow down if I continue this.
Thank you for explaining it to me though as I was trying to follow it with just one healthy b and was struggling as wasn't eating enough carbs. It's hard though as I'll eat porridge for breakfast to increase milk supply and trying to eat salad and meat/eggs with ryvita for dinner as was eating Warburton toastie loaf and I was so bloated all the time. But eating no ryvita I really struggled but this is what I would have ate before the baby. Dieting and breastfeeding is a whole different ball game! In the past I used to just restrict my calorie intake to the extreme which I know is not good as can't maintain but with the baby I know I can't do that! Hopefully it will be healthier weight loss as a result
I’ve started sw 3 weeks ago and am bf my 8month old. the leader gave me a leaflet about bf on sw, which suggests having 2healthy ‘a’ and 2 healthy ‘b’ each day (so 1 more a&b than normal ) and eating max syns per day. It suggests reducing this the less reliant on bf but my leader didn’t have any advice on this.
From what I've found out online (I'm not a paying member!) you have an extra 4 healthy extras depending on if you're exclusively breastfeeding. It's recommended that most of the healthy extras are HEXA for the calcium.
Hi all! I have done SW before but wanted to know the difference for breast feeding do you get more syns/healthy a and b choices? I'm ravenous all the time at the moment and know I can't just do what I normally do to lose weight as it would effect my milk supply. Any help would be appreciated and some motivation too!!
