3C milk / day OK?

Good evening!  I am starting SBD in P1 for the first time on Tues.  I am trying to get my menus for that week planned and am concerned about milk.  I wonder if I will be doing any real harm by consuming 3 C/day?  I think that that is what is recommended for women my age (1500 mg) and I am also bf my DD (albeit 1-2x/day for 10-15 min. max).


I really need to get rid of my sugar cravings and want to start in P1.  I know that P2 is recommended for bf mamas, but my DD is older and I am not worried about my milk drying up or anything like that.  BF does, however, take a lot of calcium out of a woman's body and I am not sure what I should do.  I guess my question is: can I have 3C milk/day and still reap the benefits of P1?


Thanks!

Hi Laurie,


I know that you've read through all the "nursing mom" recommendations.
