How can lactating mothers lose weight without reducing milk?
Methods of losing weight and not reducing milk during lactation:

First, the time to lose weight, you need to get the doctor's consent before losing weight, usually 6 to 8 weeks after delivery, because the postpartum body needs a period of repair to ensure the normal supply of milk.

Second, the speed of weight loss, according to the advice of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, it is more appropriate to lose 0.5kg per week during lactation, which will not adversely affect the baby's development.

Third, of course, the way to lose weight can't be by dieting, let alone using drugs to lose weight, but only by changing eating habits and finding a suitable long-term exercise. With the increase of exercise and the decrease of intake, your weight will naturally drop.

Fourth, daily diet, when breastfeeding completely, the new mother needs an extra 500 calories a day to provide nutrition for breastfeeding, and when the baby starts to eat solid food, the new mother needs an extra 250 calories a day; When you stop breastfeeding, you don't need to add extra calories. Therefore, it is extremely important to supplement protein foods after delivery for the recovery of the new mother's body and to ensure adequate breast milk secretion. Therefore, it is suggested to choose foods with high protein content and low fat content, such as fish, lean meat or skinless poultry.

Fifth, moderate exercise, breastfeeding mothers can start with simple exercise, such as walking.
