Frequently Asked Questions
How long does postpartum weight loss take?
It typically takes 6-12 months to lose pregnancy weight safely. Your body needs time to recover. Aim for 0.5 kg per week maximum.
How many extra calories do I need for breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding burns 300-500 extra calories daily. Add these to your maintenance calories. Do not create a large deficit while nursing.
When can I start exercising postpartum?
Light activity can begin a few days after vaginal delivery. Wait 6-8 weeks after C-section. Always get doctor clearance first.
Will dieting affect my milk supply?
Severe calorie restriction can reduce milk supply. Keep calories above 1800/day minimum and ensure adequate hydration.
