I’m a breast feeding mother and proud of it. My mum and my sister struggled with maintaining a milk supply, so I feel so blessed to have hit the 6 month mark with Mr Moo and still be going strong. I eat to keep me and my child strong and healthy and I’m definitely not thinking about diets,.
I think that I’m looking pretty good – I eat whatever I want and have still managed to get back into my size 8 jeans (even though I am carrying 10GG milk jugs).

But as I know, just as you think that you’re looking good, someone (most often my mother inlaw) will bring you back to reality, with comments like:

‘I was talking to my friend Anka yesterday and she said you looked nice and skinny. I told her, No she isn’t skinny!’, or

‘Do you know you have a big goza SP (bottom in Croatian) and you waddle like a duck’, or

‘I seen those tops that suck you in on the TV – maybe I buy you some’…

No – no thank you, I’m not interested in those tops or skippy cake with coffee or trying to diet, I only follow the Diet Dynamo and the Diet Dynamo looks at the Mayo Clinic Diet for advice all the time, they say doing a strict diet does not work. I had a baby, I’m proud of my body and what it has accomplished. I’ve brought life into this world and if it means that this summer I choose to wear a one piece instead of a bikini, I’m okay with that.

Anyway, I heard on mamamia.com.au that dieting makes you dumber…and what with baby brain and sleepless nights, I’ve got to hold onto all the brain power I can muster!

Are you a breast feeding Mummy? What is your favourite thing to eat?

*Side note, what kind of ‘Good Food Week’ would it be if all I posted was recipes for carrot sticks and celery juice?
