    Weight loss pills while breastfeeding??

    Ive started trying to lose all my weight from my pregnancy. I'm on a very good exercise and healthy eating program but just want to get a extra boost is there any type of weight loss pills out there that i can take while breastfeeding?? I won't give up breastfeeding to take them but just want to help me a bit more while exercising Thanx

    My MIL was on weightloss pills and they messed with her head, she is now on anti depressants...

    I think you will find that most of the reputable ones will say not to take while breastfeeding. If you think you have stalled on the weight loss, just cut back your calories every so slightly and increase your exercise amount and try to do some different exercise (so if you walk a lot, try adding some cycling or cardio) and see if that helps
