Low Carbing immediately after birth?

[rania]

I am looking at starting low carb again, but my bub is only 3 weeks old. In the past I have found low carb the easiest way to lose weight, I also found I had more energy on low carb (which I need right now!). Not 100% sure how I will go as it usually takes a bit more work to do low carb than grabbing any old thing. To help combat this I bought some low carb stuff from an online shop. I am going to try to make some of this stuff up in advance and freeze it so hopefully this will help.

Wondering though, I now there are a lot of nutrients etc required by the body for both healing and producing breast milk. Should I be taking any supplements? I tried to ask my doctor in the hospital but he simple said he didnt believe in low carb, which was just plain unhelpful! Any advice appreciated.
