How much weight do you lose in a month with breastfeeding?

We all know that breastfeeding consumes a lot of nutrients from the mother's body. If the mother does not pay attention to her diet at this time, it is easy for her to lose weight. This also causes many mothers who want to lose weight to lose weight at this stage. In fact, breastfeeding can help a baby lose 10 pounds, but you must pay attention to a balanced diet to avoid affecting the quality of milk and the health of the mother.

In fact, generally speaking, it is hard to say whether some women will become thinner or fatter after breastfeeding. But specifically speaking, you should develop good eating habits, control your mouth and move your legs! Eat more foods rich in protein, such as milk, eggs, poultry and fish. Avoid greasy food. At the same time, pay attention to supplementing vitamin C and eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits such as spinach and kiwi.

Breastfeeding has many benefits

1. New mothers can breastfeed their babies in time after giving birth. The baby's sucking action can stimulate the secretion of prolactin in the mother's body, promote the contraction of the mother's uterus, promote the early recovery of the uterus after delivery, and effectively reduce postpartum complications.

2. Breastfeeding can reduce the accumulation of fat in the mother's body, so that the fat can be quickly converted into the energy needed by the baby and provided to the breast milk, so it is beneficial to the mother's physical recovery after delivery and helps to lose weight, making the mother lose weight.

3. Breastfeeding can inhibit the mother's ovulation and the arrival of menstruation, which is beneficial for postpartum contraception.

4. When breastfeeding, mothers can have skin contact, eye contact and verbal contact and communication with their babies. This can stimulate the mother's maternal instinct, help build a close relationship between the mother and baby, and allow mothers to gain physical and mental satisfaction.

5. Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

6. Breast milk is almost sterile and can be fed directly. It is not easily contaminated and has a suitable temperature. The sucking speed and amount of food can be increased or decreased according to the baby's needs. It is convenient, hygienic and economical, and can reduce the pressure of family parenting to a certain extent.
