“Young Mother Nearly Dies From a Low-Carb Diet”

Can it potentially be life-threatening to breastfeed on a strict low-carb diet?

While this seems to be exceedingly rare - 4 published cases ever, all of which ended well - it's apparently possible to develop ketoacidosis while breastfeeding on a strict low-carb diet. The same thing can happen due to starvation.

Don't do a strict low-carb diet when breastfeeding - and make sure to eat enough in general.

I've written more extensively about this just recently:
