Exercise and Breastfeeding
I just read about some interesting studies regarding the effects of exercise on lactation. Don't know if there are any other nursing mothers on here, but thought I'd share....
Breastfeeding and Exercise: Do They Mix?

Re: Exercise and Breastfeeding
Hi
Thanks for the info. Im 8 months post baby and Im just nursing twice a day now. I have been back at the gym exclusively for about 2 months now and noticed that I have had to EAT more since Im burning more energy at the gym. I do find myslef more fatiqued if I dont. Your supposed to consume an extra 500 calories daily for nursing...which I have but yet probably burn that off pretty fast lifting. Im about done with it myslef...there is TEETH NOW! hehe Mommie say NO! :O ~sky

Re: Exercise and Breastfeeding
Bella, that is adorable! Glad you had such a positive experience and were able to get your body back. I have heard that if you go into it fit and healthy, all is better post birth - makes sense.

Re: Exercise and Breastfeeding
I think I can speak as an expert on this subject at least. I've had seven. Some of the pregancies have been harder than others, and some of the births have been harder than others. This last one I had was the most difficult in both categories (I'm getting OLD.) But at the end of the game, it's not about the pregnancy, the labor, the stretch marks - it's about the baby. And for all the difficulties I had having my last one, he is the sweetest, happiest, smilingest baby I've ever had (excluding this last week where he's been plagued with gas!)
As far as breastfeeding - I don't stop when they get teeth. Nursing babies rarely bite.
