Hello,
I have a question about supply and exercise.
I gained about 45 pounds while pregnant and all but about 10-15 have dropped (my baby is 4 months on Sunday), anyway, I decided that I would go back to the gym Monday and resume my regular 6am hour long spin class that I was doing 5 times a week until the middle of my 2nd trimester. I went Monday and yesterday (Tuesday). After the class I felt great, but I noticed that Tuesday my milk supply was very low? I usually have much more than enough and have to pump several times a day even with my daughter feeding every two - three hours. Yesterday, however, I didn't pump at all and didn't have my usual forceful let-down issues?
I ate the usual amount, about 2000 calories or so, so I am wondering if when I excercise do I have to up my calorie intake? If so, while breastfeeding do you ever lose all the weight? I don't want to jeoperdize my baby's health for vanity, but it would be nice to fit into my jeans again.
Just wondering.
Thanks in advance.
