Getting too skinny while BFing- any advice? - Page 2

hmmmm, I can see that this would be just as frustrating as NOT losing the weight. I would also suggest seeing a nutritionist. It kind of reminds me of when my mom battled breast cancer. due to the chemo she had to overload her body with nutrients in order to keep herself at a healthy weight. She would drink protein laden milkshakes daily made with full fat ice cream and heavy cream. Sounds gross to some but it seriously worked for her to keep the weight on and make her healthy again. I'm sure that a professional can help you to find out why your body keeps losing the weight. Those babies can really depleat our bodies of calories and nutrients fast.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Good luck and keep us posted on what you find to work for you.

wow, 3-5,000k...that's a lot. My bmi got down to 17 which is really thin....it affects my energy level too.

I would suggest lots of nuts (if you're not already)......they have so many calories and they are good for you.

Good luck! I know it's tough, but maybe the nutritionist will give you good ideas. ....
