[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^agree. This thread is lunacy.  You are two and a half months out and still nursing, even if only part time.

Eat the damned smoothie. Three pounds doesn't mean anything at this point.

Keep doing what you are doing.

Sugar bomb. Shaking my head at the complete nonsense. [/quote]
You can't eat a smoothie, it's liquid.  My kid who is trying to GAIN weight is having almost the same thing as she is, so it's hardly lunacy.  Drinking your meal is stupid if weight loss is your goal.  She should at least stop liquifying it and eat it instead--bet she'd eat less of it than she drinks.[/quote]

Her smoothie as described is no more than 300-400 calories. She is basically eating yogurt with a small fruit salad and a side of spinach. If that is what your kid is eating to gain weight, then YOU are doing something wrong.

She didn't complain that she isn't full and while it isn't the absolute best option, it is NOT "stupid." 
And everyone here with their crazy a*s advice forgetting she is only 2 months postpartum---wow. If it means she can work/care for her baby and have an easy handheld portable meal, then it is FINE>

We have gone down the rabbit hole when we start comparing fruit to refined sugars and demonize all carbs that a breastfeeding mother would need. Hell, ANY mother of a young infant.

but a breastfeeding mother doesn't actually *need* carbs. a breastfeeding mother (and the baby) does need a LOT of protein and fat and dairy. that's what the milk is going to be made of.[/quote]
This... is not true.  Human milk is:  3.8% fat; 1% protein; 7% lactose (the remainder being mostly water).  If you break that down to just macros it is: 32% fat, 8.5% protein, 59.5% carbs.[/quote]
