Worried about shedding off the extra weight you have gained during your pregnancy? Breastfeeding exclusively for the first six month will help you lose it. Any mama’s there who know this to be true?

Exclusive breastfeeding does help you shed off the weight as you burn a lot of calories during the production of milk. However, it is important to watch the quality and quantity of what you eat. Aim to eat a balanced diet with starches, proteins, fruits and vegetables. You do not need to eat double your normal portion rather adding a little extra calories. You should aim to drink a lot of fluids to help with hydration. Aim to ‘ eat for one, drink for two”. You can do mild exercise like walking, swimming etc to keep fit
