Anyone else?

Question

Anyone else afraid to work out/exercise too much and messing up your milk supply? I’ve heard too much exercise can decrease your milk.. I wanna lose baby weight, but I also don’t wanna compromise my supply...I know breastfeeding CAN help you lose weight, but I have a feeling I’m one of those who hold on to weight when breastfeeding 😒 I feel like I lost more weight at this point with my first...(3 months pp tomorrow)

Answer

I'm scared to work out but not because of BFing but because I can still feel the staples from my C/S  haven't dissolved yet and I'm just terrified of ripping open my incision.

Answer

I do orange theory fitness 4 days a week and have since 6 weeks pp and haven’t had any issues with supply or feeding! Just drink plenty of water and ensure you’re eating enough! I know breastfeeding has made me STARVING!!!

Answer

As long as your not doing anything crazy you should be fine. Try doing yoga or Pilates or barre type workouts. They are gentle and at least get you moving to build up strength.

Answer

I trained for a marathon after giving birth to my first child.  Started running at 4 months pp, ran the marathon when she was about 16 months old and I nursed her until she was about 13-14 months old.  Never had any issues with supply.

Answer

I haven’t had any issues just keep drinking enough water and taking in enough food and you should be fine 🙂

Answer

I've been walking af least 30 min (usually an hour) 4-6 days a week since LO was 2 weeks (he's now 15 weeks) and haven't had any issues! Make sure to drink lots of water

Answer

Hard work outs can alter the taste of your milk also. Just try to eat clean. Get gentle exercise and enjoy your baby.

Answer

Yes!  I typically try to pump right before I work out.  But I’m with you! I felt like with my first the weight came off easier.   It’s also quite hard to find time to workout with 2!!
