A member asked:

What are the best ways to lose weight while breast feeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't diet: Breast feeding mothers should eat a healthy diet. You actually need more calories during breast feeding than during pregnancy, but they should be from a balanced diet. When you finish breast feeding, your weight may decrease quickly if you have been following a nutritious diet and exercise program.
