Do any of you ladies know a lot about breastfeeding? I didn't breastfeed with my first but really want to this time just for 3 weeks! My mother in law Says I shouldn't breastfeed because she don't feel I eat healthy enough. I figured as long as I continue taking my prenatal vitamins while breastfeeding that it would help give the baby what I don't eat. any advice? should I change my diet?

Depends on what your diet consists of. I didn't change mine much when I breastfed my boys. I just didn't eat too much with oil/fat and nothing spicy.

I eat normal I mean I love to eat junk food and snacks but I still eat my veggies and fruits and meats. I think she's more concerned because I don't eat 3 big meals a day.

the thing about beat feeding is if your baby doesn't like what your eating you will have a very fussy baby. So it's a matter of not eating things that are known to cause issues. You can Google a list of what not to eat. If you can stay away from those things ands keep your fluids up ( and I mean good fluids not just soda ;) ) then you should be good

Well as long as you take your prenatal and you're eating you should be fine. But you have to eat and drink lots of water otherwise your body won't have the calories to make milk.

Can I ask why just 3 weeks?

because I will be going back to work full time 6 weeks after delivery that's 12 hour days 5 days a week and I don't think I'll have time to keep up with pumping!
