Question 3

how to lose weight during lactation?

Accepted Answer

Basics: If you look at the specifics, creating breast milk for baby requires metabolic work on your part ( that is quite passive).Over 1yr your breasts will use your body energy to create roughly 500-1000 cal/day for baby. If you only consume the diet you need for your pre-pregnancy weight, you could drop 1-2 pounds a week due to breastfeeding alone.If you eat more you loose less.

: This is safe to the baby and will not effect lactation, and the best way to protect your baby is for you and anyone else in contact with the baby to be up to date on their vaccinations.
