What are the best exercises for a breastfeeding mother?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Every kind: With the addition of a good supportive bra, all types of exercise are good for a breastfeeding mother, from walking to aerobics to yoga or tai chi. Good hydration is important during and after exercise, too.

Exercise is good: Make sure to stay hydrated. The baby may prefer to nurse prior to exercise. Baby may also not like to nurse after you have been sweating, so wash the breast.
