Workout and breastfeeding?!

Question

breastfeeding?!" /> 
I'm debating back and forth

I'm currently at my heaviest I've ever been and I haven't been happy with the way I look but at the same time I'm just trying to live it up as a first time mom. I'm currently breastfeeding my 18 month old and I keep telling myself "I'll work out when I'm done breastfeeding" just to let my boobs get back into place and then focus on me. Or should I just screw it and start now? How many of you continued to workout daily while breastfeeding? Did you love it? Was it a struggle ?

Answer

Women breastfeed while they run marathons so please don’t put your well-being on hold. The marathon thing is an extreme example but breastfeeding is not a reason to neglect your health.

Answer

Start now! 18 months is a long time to go without exercise. Just do it!

Answer

In my mind: working out and Bf have nothing to do with each other. 
I’ve been Bf for 26 months and working out for the past 24 (had to wait for medical clearance after emergency c section). 
It hasn’t really been an issue, like I said - I don’t see the two as correlated. 
I don’t know anything about you at all (that’s my preface), but my initial reaction upon reading your post was that you’re thinking of a reason to delay having to work out. I don’t mean that in a bad way at all, I get it! Working out can definitely suck. If I didn’t have a routine that I just do - I’d be thinking of what reasons I can give to not have to work out too! 
But maybe I’m just missing the link between breastfeeding and working out?

Answer

I workout and breastfeed. I do insanity, which is an intense workout.

Answer

I’m 12 weeks PP and I breast feed. I starting working out week 9. I work out 2-3x a week for an hour. It’s been fine. I’m not sure why breastfeeding would stop you?

Answer
