How soon after birth would you start Whole30? If you ate grains, dairy, etc... regularly before? What about if you were breastfeeding?
I know they recommend waiting at a minimum 2 months before *trying* to lose weight if you are BF, do you think you could start Whole30 month 3? Or, is it just too drastic a change to chance it that early?

If you are eating enough calories, then it shouldn't be a problem. I was still losing weight fast from breastfeeding at 3 months, and also exhausted and without much time for cooking. We were still in survival mode, so I just tried to make healthy choices.

I did a modified version (still at a bowl of oatmeal in the morning (for milk supply), but otherwise) and started 8 weeks post-partum and did not have any problems with my milk supply. I didn't restrict calories, just modified what I was eating. Totally helped get the weight off
