Q: is healthy weight reduction possible while breast feeding?how many weight should be aimed to reduce post partum while breastfeeding.now i'm 9 month pregnant?

: Healthy weight reduction is possible when breast feeding. However, you should not focus on the number. Eating a healthy well balance diet, exercising regularly and breast feeding all contribute to weight loss at a healthy rate after pregnancy. Just stick with focusing on those things for weight loss.
