Losing Weight After Baby

One thing all new moms have in common is the desire to lose weight. But when you’re consumed with motherhood and restricted from dieting due to breastfeeding the challenge is often hard. My goal is to help moms eat a healthful diet while feeding their new baby. As your baby eats new foods, so will you. You are their model for healthy eating. The good news is that when you eat healthy, so do they. When they eat healthy, so do you! You need to model healthy eating behavior day in and day out. It’s not enough to say that they should do so. They should see you eat your fruits, vegetables and wholesome foods. Most of all, they should see you eat. It is not uncommon that the moms with picky eaters are also the moms who are always on diets.

Your caloric needs are highest when your baby is smallest (especially if you’re breastfeeding). As your baby can eat more, you can eat less. When you eat healthy, whole foods, you don’t have to watch calories.

It took you 9 months to put the weight on. Please be good to yourself and give yourself time to take it off. Drop the all or nothing approach. Make a baby step towards your weight loss goal and I promise you that you'll get your Body Back!
