Have you heard that it’s easy to lose weight while breastfeeding? Did this turn out to be true for you? Whether it has or not, let’s talk about the idea that we should all be bouncing back to our pre-pregnancy weights and looking as if we never gave birth once we’ve had a baby.
On this episode you will hear:
- The cultural expectations surrounding weight loss after pregnancy
- Some data surrounding breastfeeding and weight loss
- How disordered eating can impact patterns of baby feeding
- How lactation consultants counsel clients who ask about weight loss
