Tips & Warnings
Breastfeeding helps mothers to lose weight faster. Breastfeeding mothers need to eat more calories than mothers who are not breastfeeding.
Stop exercising and call a doctor if you experience pain during or after exercising. Do not overwork yourself exercising. Start slow and gradually build yourself up to more vigorous exercise. Always ask a doctor before beginning an exercise program after childbirth.
