Hi, I m eight moths pregnant. I knew a woman who pretty much as soon as she gave birth got liposuction and went through a very stringent low calorie diet. Her baby was malnourished and according to her doctor her milk had the nutritional value of water. Is it unhealthy for my baby if I lose weight too fast after my preganancy if I intend to breastfeed? Please answer ASAP. Thanks
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion it is not good to go for liposuction or fast weight reducing methods. Infact breastfeeding itself aids in weight reduction. It causes fat resorption which was accumulated in pregnancy. So you don't worry about weight. Inturn takes healthy nutritional diet, high protein diet during the breastfeeding period. This will cause good amount of breast milk for the baby. Nothing is a substitute for mothers milk. There will be spontaneous loss of weight in 3-6 months during post delivery. Best regards...
