has anyone done a low carb diet while breastfeeding?

I'm in my second week of low carbing and I'm wondering if it is affecting my milk.

DS is 3mo and has started to poo each tiome he feeds, instead of once a day as he was doing before. Also, many of the poos are green instead of the normal mustardy yellow - although not all. I asked my health visitor about this and she said it wasb due to him having too much foremilk but he hasn't changed how he feeds and has 20 mins on each side so I'm a bit dubious.

This week he hasn't gained as much weight as normal, either.

He is not unwell in himself at all. I'm just wondering, is rhis down to my diet or is it a complete coincidence?

i am breastfeeding but he is 17 months old- am trying a low carb diet- i did google it about a week ago and it seems to be vague. i would keep an eye on your baby- your milk supply might have dropped? have you lost a lot of weight fast?i think i read that low carb proper diets say avoid the attack phase and move onto the second phase if breastfeeding.

I've lost 6lb so not an enormous amount. I also don't think my milk production is lower as I express one bottle a day and that has been fine.

I'm moving on to the less strict phase today though so will see if that makes a difference. Will keep a very close eye on baby and just stop altogether if he isn't back on track weight wise by next week.
