Breast-feeding women lose weight and shape with half the effort. Where is the real effect?
Studies have shown that long-term continuous breastfeeding (more than 6 months) can significantly improve postpartum weight maintenance.

Breastfeeding is an energy-consuming process, which consumes nearly 500 kilocalories every day. In addition, the increase of prolactin level will also inhibit the production of fat, and at the same time inhibit the intake of glucose by existing adipose tissues, thus leading to the transformation of fat storage mode of the body to fat metabolism during pregnancy. In the early stage of feeding, fat metabolism is a gentle physiological process, and weight has no obvious effect. However, after continuous breastfeeding for a period of time, the prolactin level decreases, which in turn leads to high energy demand and decreased appetite of lactating women, thus reducing postpartum weight!

An expert and his team once made a statistical analysis of 400 lactating mothers. The results show that the longer the breastfeeding time, the more the amount, and the more helpful it is for mothers to restore their body shape!
