Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara

Why do I lose weight after giving birth?

Baby (~7.5 lbs), placenta (~1 lb), amniotic fluid (~2 lbs), blood loss (~1 lb), and fluid shifts (~2–3 lbs). That's 13–15 lbs immediately. Remaining is weight you gained to support pregnancy.

How long does it take to lose pregnancy weight?

Most women lose half within 6 weeks. Full return: 6–12 months typical (6 months if breastfeeding due to metabolic boost). Some retained: hormones, body changes permanent (~10% of gain typical).

Is it safe to diet while breastfeeding?

Gentle diet OK (500 kcal deficit). Aggressive dieting (> 1000 kcal deficit) may reduce milk supply. Breastfeeding itself burns 300–500 kcal/day. Prioritize adequate calories + hydration.
