Hi all!  Thank you all for your kind words.  Tammie, to answer your question, NO it my low blood sugars do not cause the baby to have low blood sugars while I'm breast feeding.  From what my doctor tells me, the reason my blood sugars go so low is because breast feeding takes a lot of energy and burns a lot of calories...about 500 or so...the equivalent of doing 1 hour on the treadmill.  So it is important that I eat extra food to help compensate.  So that's why us diabetics get the low blood sugars if we breast feed.  

 

I'm going to post his picture so check it out and let me know what you all think.  This was taken at the hospital and he's 1 day old.
