Weight Watchers and nursing?

[erbono]

I am 6 weeks postpartum and 30 pounds over my prepreg weight. With my last pregnancy I began Weight Watchers at 4 months postpartum. Has anyone started at 6 weeks? I don't want to compromise my breast milk supply and was wondering what others experience was like.

TIA,

I haven't done WW while BF, but when I did do it, I remember that BF mothers were given an additional 25 poinds per day - I think they do a pretty good job taking BFing into consideration when they figured that out...on 25 extra points per day my points would've been more than doubled.

You can probably call your local WW office and ask - or check their website for info. New moms have got to be at least 25% of their business :-)

Good Luck!
