I’m currently BFing my gorgeous 4 month old boy. Has anyone had positive experience on the Keto diet without affecting milk supply?

This is not advisable, toxins are held in fat and when you get into Ketosis fat is broken down and the toxins are released and end up in the milk. I didn’t realise this but after a week of doing low carb when breastfeeding my 1yr old started getting a rash and I am convinced that this was the reason, obviously I stopped low carb immediately (this was a few years ago). I have since read that this does happen.
