Couldn’t do it. Body needed food in the morning to keep up good supply and keep me feeling good as well. Weight might not budge until you wean. I didn’t do IF until my hormones regulated, which was 1.5 years after weaning. Yeah, it’s a long road.
I was bfeeding and pumping. I lost a lot of supply when intermittent fasting and had to drop it and add fenugreek and supplement with formula until I could increase my production. My heart goes out to you - tough to handle all of the things all at once and not have speedy results. Best of luck!
I couldn’t lose a single lb while breastfeeding. Some women just can’t. Our bodies want to hold on to extra weight to ensure supply. That said, I think 16:8 wouldn’t be bad as long as you kept fluids up. Good luck!
