DEALNG WITH POST PREGNANCY WEIGHT
GAIN
Some pointers to
help you lose your post pregnancy weight.Motherhood on one hand brings joy and on other a feeling of being fat and tired at times …RIGHT
Most women want to know how long it will take to lose the baby weight, but there’s no simple answer. Certainly in the first few weeks, you should be focusing on adjusting to motherhood and bonding with your baby, eating well, staying hydrated and getting enough rest.
So here are a few tips to help you lose the baby weight and get your energy back.
Breast feeding and weight loss
Breastfeeding doesn't make you gain
weight - in fact, you use up calories when you nurse, and helps you get rid of
extra weight more quickly while you are nursing. You might not realize that you
already began your weight-loss efforts the moment you put your baby to your
breast.
Breastfeeding
burns around 300 calories per day, so it can help you begin to lose some of
your excess baby weight. What's more, breastfeeding can help stimulate
contractions in your uterus that help your belly shrink back to its regular
size after pregnancy to help you regain your old shape, too.
Your body stores up fat during your pregnancy to provide the extra calories needed for milk production. It is easier to lose lower body fat (hips, buns, and thighs) when you are breastfeeding compared to the mom who is formula feeding. So goahead and enjoy feeding your baby.

Eat Balanced diet
If you don’t eat well your baby will suffer and even you will have to bear the effects in latter life.
Stay hydrated and curb the caffeine
Snack at frequent intervals
Snacking is important, but don’t stuff yourself with
too much of fried or sweet foods during this filler time snacking. You can opt
for fruits, salads, raitas, sprouts chat, puff of jowar, nachni, wheat, roasted
channa, groundnuts, dryfruits.
Watch the sweets or energy drinks like glucose water or sherbets
Try to remain active
During
the nursing stage there isn’t any need to keep lying on the bed. Try to be as
active as possible, which will help you keep up the metabolic rate. Begin your weight loss program slowly when you are
breastfeeding. Increase your activity level.
Stay positive and focus on what’s important
Your health and the health of your baby come first. It took you nine months to gain that weight, so don’t expect it to fall off overnight. Focus on your achievements – especially the biggest one of all… You’re a mom!Mrs Shilpa Mittal
