[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with precious posters but also came in to say add liquids : soups, water etc… in real noticeable quantities 
Which is also one of the ways low carb affect milk supply: you retain less water when on low carb. That’s the magic of low carb and why we lose 2-4 pounds in water weight on first week of low carb. But that’s also why it is detrimental to milk supply

Now all that being said: if you eat enough calories on a low carb diet (at least 1800) it is probably not the main reason why you don’t have enough supply… dropping low carb and adding liquids may help. But maybe not. I never had proper milk supply, my mom and grandma didn’t either. It happens. Don’t believe anyone who tells you it will come if you just keep pumping and letting your child struggle to get milk. If your baby doesn’t get enough, please don’t hesitate to supplement as much as needed. I waited too long, my baby was hungry, I still regret that stupid mistake [/quote]

OP here. We have supplemented since two weeks. [/quote]
