Ketosis is not the same as paleo.
I'd suggest not to attempt ketosis when breasfeeding.
Mothers milk contains a lot of carbohydrate, much more than fat.
Your body has to make it for the milk.
There is *no* way for the body to make carbohydrate out of fat.
The only way to make carbohydrate for your body in ketosis is
to downgrade protein to make them.
It's hard work for the body.

I think it will be impossible for you to eat so much additional protein
that you body could make enough carbohydrate for the amount necessary in
the milk for your baby.
