Not a mom so I have no clue and I'm not saying it's what's causing her problems (none of my business) but I'm curious if the obsession to lose the baby weight as fast as possible could be causing supply issues with breast milk?

Honestly breastfeeding sounds like an absolute pain in the ass so whether moms aren't doing it bc they can't or because they don't want to, it's truly no one's business.

it's a pain the ass in some ways, but also actually convenient and really easy in others (don't have to figure out which bottle or formula works best for baby, don't have to wash all the stupid parts a million times a day and bring stuff with you, etc). keeping a little baby alive is the pain in the ass part, and you pick your poison with breastfeeding vs bottles (and everything else everyone argues about). that's the truth.

Sorry you’re getting ignorant comments - you definitely have a point. Caloric intake needs to be higher for breastfed mothers. I breastfeed for 4 years between my two girls and I definitely noticed a change in supply when I didn’t eat enough.
Probably doesn’t apply to olivia’s case as I’m assuming she would do everything including diet if she’s doing supplements- but you are correct to connect the two.
