Low Carbing immediately after birth?

[Phteven]

Complex carbs are a really important energy source. It's not that your milk would be inadequate just that you wouldn't have the energy to keep up with the demands of a tiny baby.

TBH unless you have issues with metabolising food I don't thank low-carb is a great way to diet.

I can only speak from having a six month old, but when DS was 6 months old I agreed to trial a low carb diet with DH. My milk supply dropped so much. And I had an established feeding pattern. I only lasted a week.

I'd wait until bubs is at least 6 weeks old before trialling any diet. This is around when your milk supply is most likely established. Weight gain should be last of your priorities right now because you might need the extra weight with breastfeeding.

I'd wait until 12 weeks. Give your body some time to adjust. The baby weight will come off gradually.
