HEy all just thought i would post this here, and see if anyone has any suggestions.
Since teh birth of my son 10 weeks ago , teh little mans has doubled in weigt packing on 3 full kg....
....At the expense of his mum..( and me) Yes she is happy, but how her body is loosing weight I feel is not right, she does not seem to be loosing a lot of excess fat, but rather she seems to be loosing muscle mass, she has also commented that she feels weeker, shoulders, arms neck, back noticbley smaller. It is not a huge issue, really, she isnt too skinny looking, but I was wondering would she be able to take protein powder to help maintain this, She is keen as to go to gym again, to build up but has to wait until bub is 16 weeks before the child minding will have him..
We have not been eating the best lately and this is obviously not been helping, as with the limited sleep.
So is protein powder a bad thing to have while breast feeding?
