    as the title says, baby is 4 weeks and I'd like to start a structured diet - i can't do it without joining a class never been able to! WW suits me better than Slimming World.

     

    thanks

    Yes - my friend started WW at maybe 3 months... definitely by 6 months. BF mothers get extra points to allow for it.
    Consider waiting for a few more weeks for your milk supply to be well-established.

    Yes you can, you get 10 extra points if exclusively bf and 5 extra once they drop some feeds after weaning. I am doing it and often struggle to eat that many points! I've lost 30 lbs since mid December so it's working for me, good luck x

    yes you can as others have said but a lot of leaders like you to have had your 6 week post natal check before you start.
