Starting weight loss after pregnancy should be approached with care. It’s important to give your body adequate time to recover before beginning any weight loss efforts. Typically, waiting until after your postpartum check-up and ensuring you’re in good health before starting is recommended. Breastfeeding can influence the rate of weight loss, as it requires additional calories and can impact how quickly you lose weight. It’s best to focus on a balanced diet and gradual weight loss while prioritizing your health and your baby’s needs. Consulting with a registered dietitian can provide tailored guidance to ensure both your nutritional needs and breastfeeding goals are met effectively.
