»: Its official: Breast is Best
The challenge of losing weight post childbirth can often drag on and on for some women yet part of the solution is surprisingly obvious for most new mothers. Breastfeeding is a healthy option from many aspects, not only does it provide the best nutrition and early immune response for the baby, it assists in the prevention of breast cancer, develops maternal bonding and assists in averting post natal depression; breastfeeding causes endorphin like substances to be released in the bloodstream. In addition to that, it turns calories usually stored in fatty tissue into highly nutritious milk!
It would appear that at last the full awareness of the benefits are coming to light after many decades of relative darkness. Breastfeeding should be seen not as an inconvenience but more as an intrinsic passage to good health in mothers and babies. Formula milk has fallen far short in the scales of nutritional worth having been implicated in many allergen related and stomach related problems. In addition, the value of mother’s milk in the first few days has a rich array of antigens and antibodies that provide a head start for the newborn. As babies grow they have an increasing need for precisely the nutrients in breast milk, in providing this, mothers are able to draw on their own reserves to produce it. Given that there is not too great an increase in consumption of calories by the mother then there is a far higher likelihood of regaining a slim figure and less likelihood of breast cancer, the benefits are obvious.
Many women return to their pre pregnancy weight without having to resort to dieting as a result of breastfeeding. Although moderate exercise is still to be recommended as is a healthy diet, caution is needed about too fast a reduction in weight by restricting diet as this can inhibit milk supply in the early weeks of lactation.
The optimal timescale put forward by many leading professionals is to breastfeed is for six months or more. It is recommended not to introduce solid food for the baby until later in that period. This is of benefit to mother and child by supporting the child to grow healthily and for the mother to lose those stored pounds.
The savings in human suffering, healthcare costs and the benefit to mothers and children are recognized in an ongoing educational program to the public. It aims for the steady acceptance that the breastfeeding of babies is a norm and a positive contribution to the health of one self, one’s family and society as a whole.
Still not able to lose that weight / regain you figure after childbirth?
The two main cosmetic surgery procedures often sort post childbirth are some form of breast procedure (Breast Augmentation (Enlargement)) / Breast Modellation / Uplift (Mastopexy) and tummy procedures (Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)).
When should these cosmetic surgery procedures be considered?
Typically, once breast feeding has ceased, a further 3+ months should be allowed to pass before any operation is considered.
With respect to operations of the tummy, again a safe period would be considered around 3-4 months post-child birth.
Pregnancy after these surgeries!
It is safe to consider further childbirth / pregnancy after any of these procedures, but you should consider at least 1 year between operation(s) and your next pregnancy.
In most cases you will still be able to produce milk and breastfeed, as before, but in a few % of women whom have undergone some form of breast surgery, this may not be possible.
Likewise, after your tummy procedure, in most cases, you should regain your previous figure, but likewise, mother nature has the final say.
