Can I jump rope to lose weight while breastfeeding?

Many mothers feel that their bodies have become out of shape right after giving birth, which makes them particularly distressed because they can no longer wear their old clothes and can no longer wear clothes that show off their figure. So they really want to lose weight, but they are still breastfeeding, so they can only try to lose weight by skipping rope. But is it really possible to skip rope while breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding mothers consume calories while breastfeeding, so skipping rope is okay, but they must be careful to clean up the sweat after exercise and rest for about twenty minutes before feeding the baby, otherwise the milk will become hot and is not good for the baby. Breastfeeding mothers should eat a healthy diet and pay attention to nutrition to maintain the quality of milk.

It’s okay to exercise. But try to do it when your baby is sleeping. You won’t be disturbed by your baby during the process and affect your weight loss goals. But be sure to clean your body when feeding your baby. Then just squeeze out some of your own milk. Don't let your baby drink the first mouthful of milk you give him after exercising. It is believed that human exercise can speed up metabolism. The mother can also pass on the dirty waste in her body to the baby through breast milk.

Moderate exercise is fine, but not strenuous exercise. 10-20 minutes is always fine, just go slower. Don't dance every day. But it is better to jump on grass, plastic track, wooden floor, or other soft surface so as not to hurt your brain. Don't exercise immediately after a meal, as it is harmful to your stomach and intestines. Don't eat too much at night.

Under normal circumstances, the mother's weight will increase after pregnancy, usually 10-15 kg more than before pregnancy. After the baby is born, the weight will be about 5 kg heavier than before pregnancy. This increased weight includes enlarged breasts, uterus and some increased fat. These weights will gradually disappear after the postpartum period (42 days after delivery) and lactation, so new mothers should not rush to "lose weight" after giving birth. During pregnancy, due to the effects of progesterone and other hormone substances, the ligaments, muscles, vaginal mucosa, etc. in the pregnant woman's pelvis become stretched and relaxed to facilitate the delivery of the baby. After the baby is born, these loose tissues can gradually return to their pre-natal state, and appropriate postpartum exercise can promote recovery.

But participating in high-intensity exercise too early will have the opposite effect. Usually bodybuilding focuses on the movement of the trunk and limbs. During the exercise, the abdominal muscles become tense and increase the abdominal pressure, which causes the ligaments and muscles in the pelvic cavity to be subjected to pressure from above, exacerbating the state of relaxation.

The above article introduces to us in detail whether you can jump rope to lose weight during breastfeeding. You can do some exercise appropriately during breastfeeding, but don't do any strenuous exercise. You can only exercise for about twenty minutes at most, and you can't jump rope every day.
