Breastfeeding and working out?

Question

Okay so I’m not sure if this is a wives tale or not, but I’m interested in doing this workout thing called the camp. And it’s lose 20lbs in 6 weeks, working out in a class setting for 1 hour a day 5 days a week. While eating every two hours (healthy) and drinking a TON of water. However my mom is telling me I shouldn’t workout for as long as I’m breastfeeding because then I’ll lose my milk supply. Has anyone heard of this ?

Answer

Just working out is fine, excessively trying to lose weight can and probably will affect your milk supply.

Answer

I agree with Herbert. I am familiar with the camp... I would also ask your doctor to be safe  as it is my understanding that their workouts can get intense.

Answer

Working out and eating well is fine with breastfeeding. But losing 20lbs in 6 weeks generally isn’t healthy for anyone and I wouldn’t be surprised if it affected your milk production
