A member asked:
Can i lost weight by pumping my milk same as breast feeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As long as you eat a balanced diet based on your pre-pregnancy weight and continue to produce milk for your baby, you should gradually lose weight. Baby is better at removing milk from the breast than any other extraction method.
