How To Lose Weight While Breastfeeding 

Thank you for this comment! I think a lot of new moms need to hear that.

Thanks for your comment! I needed that! Love the word "badassmother birther " lol . Made me laugh. Thank you!!

For some. And for some women, they don’t feel good with the added weight and it affects them emotionally and mentally.

I been trying everything to lose weight really dont like how i look in the mirror when i got pregnant i was 153 and now im 187 :(

Great message!! And thanks for that but some of us don’t feel our best with the added weight .. but you’re right! I’m feeding a little human here, pumping, trying to keep everything nice and tidy, cooking 🥵 cleaning afterwards.. loosing weight doesn’t seem all that important after it all lol

Jade Strange this was a dumb ass pointless rant filled with weak excuses. I'm sure all the mothers that were over weight agreed with this to make them feel better. Just take constructive criticism and move on....

Absolutely true. Good feedback.

Fat and in denial 🤣

This has a medical study to probe it. As a nursing mother you need to exercise 15 min a day to lose weight.

I've seen info that actually states calories burned from breast feeding can be between 200-800 daily! Of course all of those things you listed are valid points, we as new mothers do feel over tired, stressed, anxious, and HUNGRY! However, if weight loss is truly a goal we cannot use these things as excuses which hold us back from our goals. Weightloss is way more mental than it is physical, we and our excuses are our biggest road block along this journey! My daughter is 6 months and I spent the first 5 months of her life making excuses as to why I'm gaining and not losing, a lot of what you listed, guess what, it did me no good to do that, in fact it made me gain back the 20lbs I initially lost after the birth! It wasnt until I held myself accountable and started making better choices that the pounds started coming off. All I'm doing is tracking my calories (1800 a day) drinking 3-4L of water daily, and I ditched my morning coffee for green tea. The healthier the foods I eat, the more volume of food I can have in a day so I try stick to that, but if I'm craving pizza I allow it and just adjust my calories for the day to fit in the pizza! I'm down 11 lbs so far and haven't even started working out, which I will be soon once my husband is done school and can watch the kids while I go to the gym 3 times a week! We as new moms (this is my 3rd child) do go through a lot, especially in the first year of babies life and there's a lot of pressure to lose the weight quickly. If it's truly something you want then you have to drop the self pity and excuses and just put in work. Yes, it will be hard and there will be days where you feel like you've failed, but you just have to keep going and eventually the results will show and be huge motivation to continue!

Lindsay Ashton this is true! I drop an immediate 10 pounds after nursing as well! I even feel like I've gained weight since breastfeeding 😞I eat like a bear!!!

Uh oh, someone is sanctimonious and still wrong 🥴

You are right. Working out 4 times a week while breastfeeding made me eat even more than I already was and that made loosing weight impossible. I was counting macros, I didn’t see a big difference. at night I would become starving too and eat a full meal before bed.

There are a few factors in treating low milk yield at home and discovered. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the Hartlyn Milk Plan (google it if you're interested) definately the most incredible guide i've seen. Check out all the incredible information .

From where can we get this tea?

Why wouldn't you be able to? 😂

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💞💞💞 Wow nursed 8 kids? Bravo...

What did u do

For how long did you take the tea and did it affect your child in anyway?

@@Sara-wv3ms You still got to feed em after work out. You can stop breast feeding when you like. In my opinion continue eating healthy and trying to fit in gentle excercise like walking and toning in early stages of breast feeding. You may have less time to excercise with young kids and depending on your situation. All I know is that running reduced my milk supply. Reducing food reduced my milk supply but my food intake is not the same as everyone elses. After a big meal my boobs would fill up till the point they hurt that was my experience.

@@Sara-wv3ms Ahh. I hate how these so called professionals try to put everybody into the same boat. Someone who has loads of childcare help can get on with loosing weight and burning fat when they are ready. It also annoys me when they dont mention anything about our biology and why we gain weight. There is no hurry. You will loose the weight when your ready and in my experience it will be easier to loose it not in the early stages of breastfeeding. I started walking abit after 6 months. With my daughter I was running and my hips were not ready. They were loose still as were my ligaments Didnt understand why my joints hurt and why I couldn't loose the weight. Then with my son I started walking when he was 6 months and toning for about a year and a bit. When he was 15 months I started walking/ jogging together and started to restrict my calories a little. They recommend feeding the baby breastmilk for 2 years then they tell you you can stop after 6 months. I know 2 people who were obsessed with loosing weight and told me they stopped producing milk well before 6 months. I work from home so not in any hurry to stop breast feeding and I had difficulty pumping anyway. I have a 3 year old who needs time also. I do have a partner so in the summer was excercising when he got home for an hour. Now evenings are getting dark I go do a couple of hours sat and couple of hours sun when my boy has a nap. He dont nap that long but maybe an hour to make up for the week as cant do the 1 hour a night weekday anymore. He is 19 months now and still loves his boobie and because hes not dependent on just breastmilk and eats loads my body isn't full of crazy hormones. Good luck. Listen to your body and just remember everyone's situation and support is different. If you cant loose it while breast feeding just fit a walk into your daily life with baba and dont go crazy with calories. Eat more with less calories later on. Fill yourself up so your not hungry. Ie 3 eggs 180 calories same as 2 oat choc biscuits which leave you hungry. Load of grapes instead of raisins. You get the pic. Xx

@@Sara-wv3ms its bad isnt it. We should be encouraging moms not to worry about it and that it's ok the put on some weight. It's like fat shaming new moms who want to breast feed sometimes and making them feel lazy when they already have their hands full and want to concentrate on their child. Apparently that hormone 'Relaxin' is supposed to stay in your body for upnto 5 months after giving birth. It was still affecting my joints well after that. I started about 6 months after and was still feeling pain for months after that. I couldn't run like I used to and didnt know what was causing the pain. Had to seriously slow it down. For my second child after the painful experience I bought an elasticated belt that goes round your hips. It is designed for post pregnancy excercise and helps push your hips back in and support them while exercising. Another thing I learned is that alot of women get Diastis Recti. Makes em look fat when in fact it's the abdominal walls that need tightening. Sit ups make it worse. You can do exercises to fix it and tests to see if you have it. Wish you all the best sweety. Dont worry. Look after baby first and the other stuff will sort itself and of course not when others think your ready but when you are ready. Xx I feel like an old lady writing all this stuff. 😊

🤦🏻‍♀️ Scientifically, it’s actually proven that it is completely about math! Your ‘math’, aka calorie needs, may not look the same as someone else’s based on your age, height, weight, activity level, metabolism etc. but just because you’re eating more calories then he is stating doesn’t mean he is not correct. I guarantee you, if you were losing weight you were burning more calories then you were eating. It’s simple science. No other way to lose weight besides calories in vs calories out. Just because he’s a man doesn’t make him wrong.

What a rediculous thing to say about men. Typical ignorant woman.

Thats what I was thinking

Wow that's mean

This is a very sexist remark. If the research has been conducted what difference does the sex matter.... get over yourself ...
