Hun are you taking pregnancy supplements? Continue taking those after pregnancy and during breastfeeding. I too struggle with an eating disorder. You need to eat while breastfeeding as your body needs the nutrients to give to the baby.

You could breastfeed while you are eating and when you feel yourself slipping switch to formula for a day or so until you can gather your strength and eat again.

Eating is very important for a mother not just while pregnant or breastfeeding because not eating puts a lot of stress on your body and on you. I really do suggest you get to the route of your eating problem instead of just trying to fix the problem itself.

I lived though a lot but eventually I came to terms with the fact that I deserved better. It didn't matter what those people did to me what mattered is what i did to me. I am a mother now and no matter what I did or had did to me in the past nothing can change that fact. I am a GOOD mother and as I good mother I deserve to eat, my family deserves me to eat. Those people that abused me they are the ones that should have the problems. And once I started thinking like that I began to eat again.

But I do slip every now and than. But I am aloud to slip just as you are, no one is perfect we are aloud to be not OK for a little while.

Message me if you ever need to talk

ok this says any lack of nutrients in your diet shouldn't effect the baby but it will effect you

I'll keep looking and try and find more sources that say this also. I can ring up a lactation consultant and find out from them if you would like.

this one is on healthy eating, doesn't say what happens if you aren't eating rather tells you what to eat

This one says it is important for you and your baby to have a healthy diet, but not what happens if you don't

keep taking those tablets, you need to get as much nutrients before the bub is born. most of the stuff that you don't use will be stored on you and will be used in pregnancy. I will ask the lactation consultant tomorrow, it is only a local call and I get those free so I don't mind at all.

oh i said pregnancy i meant to say breastfeeding.
