In one study of 17 insulin-dependent diabetic mothers, 6 had an average decrease of insulin dosage of 33%, 7 a decrease of 13% and only 4 needed to have slightly more insulin while they breastfed. So, although you need extra calories to supply milk for your baby you may actually find that the amount of insulin you need falls after delivery.

As a mum that has bf 3 children and am currently still bf my 18 month old I got shivers reading this story :( Australia should be disgusted at the way society treats breastfeeding as a disease, it means healthier babies, saves money in healthcare and is much easier on the hip pocket for parents (we all know any money we save is a bonus) let alone the best thing in the world for mum and bub. I think Westfield and the cleaner need a friggin reality check aaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh things like this make me SO angry!!! OMG, this is SO horrible.
