Breastfeeding and exercise

Ok mommy's I exclusively breastfeed my babe she is now three months old! I gained about 70 pounds and would love to get it off but am worried that if I exercise I will lose milk production is this true or am I just to worried!!!!! Before I got pregnant I weighed 137 when I got home from the hospital I weighed 206 and now I weigh 165. Lots of it was water weight due to toxemia but all worth every second with my gorgeous girl!!!!! Any advance would be great!!

It is so NOT true that exercising will make you lose your supply! My advice would be to try to feed her right before you work out so they don't get engorged.

It's so funny how much you forget this is my third babe!!!! and thank lots!!! My hubby is a personal trainer so I am for sure going to have him start helping me get into shape!!!!!

this. Just drink lots of water. Dehydration is what causes milk production issues, not exercising. I go to the gym almost every night, and haven't had any issues.

Good, I like to hear about other moms that exercise it's makes me feel better about doing it myself and I drink lots of water because I always feel thirsty but I really need to fix my diet once again because I am eating the wrong foods for sure well I eat the right foods I just sneak in the candy and cookies which isn't going to help me at all in my weight loss and now that I know what I can do I am going to start as soon as my cookies are gone lol
