[QUOTE="ealingr, post: 2096328, member: 111571"] La Leche League also have some specific information on breastfeeding with diabetes: [URL]https://www.laleche.org.uk/diabetes-and-breastfeeding/[/URL] While it can be a bit of a juggling act at first, I think the changes in insulin requirements due to no longer being pregnant/hormones and trying to function on not a lot of sleep make that time challenging whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding! :) Agree with what others have said about keeping a good supply of snacks you can eat one-handed close by. Also the comments about treating a hypo taking priority over feeding baby - if there's nobody with you, making sure you treat your hypo first (even if it means baby cries for a minute) is definitely in both of your interests. Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
