The body needs time to heal.
One of the main contributors to post baby weight is the size of the uterus. When the uterus reduces in size, it not only shrinks post baby belly size but it also helps to balance out hormonal levels that also help in shedding baby weight. Breastfeeding is a great way to help the uterus shrink back to its normal size while burning up to 500 calories in the process.
Plan diet and exercise.
It can be pretty difficult to remain on a consistent diet and exercise plan when the new baby needs so much attention, but by committing to a solid plan of action, receiving help from family and friends and making sure to stick to a balanced diet for the health of yourself and the baby, weight loss can be within reach.
