Hi everyone,
I'm pregnant in my third trimester trying to eat coconut oil daily so that my baby is used to it when I am breastfeeding.
After eating, I feel very tired and lethargic all day. I crave caffeine/sugar for the rest of the day.
Do you think this is an allergy that my baby has? I have consumed coconut oil in the past and haven't had a problem. Should I stop eating it or see if I build up a tolerance?
Also, just wondering if there are any other good sources of lauric acid? When I breastfed ds my milk didn't appear to contain enough fat - i was following the SAD and ate tons of low fat food all day. What are some other good sources of fats to consume when breastfeeding besides butter/cheese, I don't want to overdo dairy due to histories of allergies.
Thanks so much!!
