Hey everyone.......I've been gone since about this time last year when I found out I was pregnant.....I now have a beautiful 3 month old son and am back to low carb living.
I checked with my pediatrician before going back to induction and he said a l/c diet wouldn't hurt the baby so I was free start anytime I wanted. I occasionally pump and my daughter will feed the baby breastmilk in a bottle because I was planning on returning to work and wanted to get him used to a bottle. One of the benefits of this is I get to see how much he's eating. At his 2 mos appt the Dr said his weight gain is fine, he's growing according to "normal". I commented that he's eating about 3 to 3.5 oz's per feeding and he's eating about every 3 hours, the Dr said he should be working his way up to 4 and even 5 oz's per feeding. I started l/c last week, today is the 1 week mark and I went all out and started in the induction phase and have kept it to 20 carbs or less a day.
Here's the problem/question. The baby seems hungry after nursing. He gets angry when the milk stops (I can tell by the swallowing pattern that he is not getting anything anymore). 2 weeks ago 3 times I was able to pump 4 oz's, over the course of the last week it's been decreasing to today I was only able to get a hair over 2 oz's. Anyone with experience with this? Is the l/c diet contributing to the decreased milk production?
Any comments would be appreciated!!
TIA
