@zacksfever: A mom asked me if she should eat just one meal a day while breastfeeding. My answer: no. Here's what a lot of people don't consider. Your body needs food all day long to keep your milk going. If you stop eating enough, your milk can drop fast. I see this happen at the hospital all the time. Yes, I know there's more to the story. Hormones after birth play a big role too. But once your milk is in, food is what keeps it flowing. And one meal a day is not enough. For most people at least. The first 6 months after having a baby is not the time to eat less. It's the time to eat often. And eat good food. Send this to a mom who is breastfeeding -Dr. Zack
