Breastfeeding and counting calories

[Beebs15]

Thus may seem like a stupid question but would my milk supply be reduced if I reduced my calorie intake?

I am exclusively bfing and would like to reduce my calories to 1200 to lose my pregnancy weight.

Thank you!

Breastfeeding uses up to 500 cals per day. I really wouldn't go under 1500 per day or you risk messing with supply, but because it uses those calories you should still see a loss :)
