Does breastfeeding help you lose weight?

Posted by: nuvomaternity on: January 23, 2008

The breastfeeding celebrities have been at it again! Apparently actress Salma Hayek has been pumping furiously to help shed the post-baby kilos.  According to the article Salma Hayek’s Milk Machine, “the actress has been pumping and freezing endless amounts of breast milk. When she’s not feeding Valentina, she’s hooked up to an industrial-size breast pump.”

To me another example of celebrity madness. The best way to lose your baby weight is gradually with healthy eating and gentle exercise. A good approach to remember is that it took nine months to put on so give yourself 9-12months to lose it.  Enjoy the early days with your baby, instead of worrying about weight! Infact too much weight loss can lead to problems with milk supply as some of the fat the body puts on during pregnancy is there to cope with the demands of breastfeeding.
