I would just eat often, every 2 hours or so but keep the meals small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-best-supply-tips-for-a-breastfeeding-mom-who-wants-to-start-working-out#post-1373297 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:49:53 +0000 Revel 1373297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating more meat and eggs seems to help me when I see a supply dip. I've been able to work some crossfit style workouts in a few days a week for the last few months while still making enough, and my supply is not great to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-best-supply-tips-for-a-breastfeeding-mom-who-wants-to-start-working-out#post-1373202 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:25:14 +0000 Anagram 1373202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with lots of calories. I've had a cold/cough for almost 2 weeks and have been eating less just because having cold kills my appetite, and I'm shocked to see how it has affected my supply. And I'm still eating--just less!</p> <p>Last night I forced myself to eat a huge dinner even though I wasn't that hungry and my supply was back to normal this morning for the first time in a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-best-supply-tips-for-a-breastfeeding-mom-who-wants-to-start-working-out#post-1373195 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:22:55 +0000 Maysprout 1373195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of water, eat when you're hungry<br /> Nurse or pump right before working out<br /> Limit time in tight sports bra </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-best-supply-tips-for-a-breastfeeding-mom-who-wants-to-start-working-out#post-1373190 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:22:17 +0000 autumnlove 1373190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water and healthy snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-best-supply-tips-for-a-breastfeeding-mom-who-wants-to-start-working-out#post-1373187 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:21:13 +0000 MamaMoose 1373187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOTS of water and lots of calories. Unfortunately, the calories may counteract weight loss, but... you will still get in better shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-best-supply-tips-for-a-breastfeeding-mom-who-wants-to-start-working-out#post-1373184 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:19:58 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1373184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For awhile I was doing the Couch to 5k program, I got about 5 weeks in when my milk supply took a nose dive &amp; I out my efforts on hold. I recently made the transition to eating "clean" &amp; I'd really like to start running again (I loved it &amp; it was a fun activity for LO &amp; I) but feeding my child is far more important to me. Any tips on how to ensure I can keep up with running &amp; my supply? </p>
