Losing weight after giving birth

Breastfeeding contributes to some weight loss in most women, although it is not recommended to lose weight too quickly, as this may adversely affect the amount of breast milk. On average, women whose weight increases in the recommended range, weighed a year after childbirth by about 1 kg more than they are weighed before pregnancy. Women whose weight had not increased to the recommended norm, a year after giving birth weigh about 0,5-1 kg more than before pregnancy. Women whose weight increases greater than the recommended one year after childbirth weigh 2 kg more than more than before pregnancy. Saving weight after childbirth depends on the individual women. Some women begin to gain weight after giving birth because of changes in habits related to nutrition, or because of declining physical activity. Other women lose weight fast enough. Acceptable rate of weight loss in the first weeks after birth - 0,5-1 kilograms per week. If you lose weight faster than it can drain the energy level, make you more susceptible to disease and reduce the amount of breast milk produced. Be forgiving of yourself and do not try to lose weight after giving birth too soon. Now, when you have a baby, you'll need all your energy and stamina.
