Cambridge diet whilst bfing toddler

[MrsCremuel]

Hello all,

I'm determined to lose weight. I really want to do the Cambridge/1:1 diet for a reset a but can I whilst breastfeeding? DS I'd 18months. I'm not sure what impact it will have on my milk as it's a meal replacement plan. If my milk does decrease this wouldn't be the end of the world, it might be a natural way to bring breastfeeding to an end which I want to do by the time he is 2.

Any ideas?

Dieting is ok whilst you BF, just make sure you take a really good vitamin and mineral supplement. The Cambridge Diet isn't recommended though but if you read up on it, I don't think it's recommended for anyone, not just BFing Mums

There's some good information on losing weight whilst BFing on Kellymom which might help.

No, pretty sure it’s not allowed I’m afraid. Maybe have a chat with a local consultant to see if there’s any options like having a couple of products per day and then a higher calorie meal in the evening for example.
