As a nurse, I am huge proponent for breastfeeding and I came across this article in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (December, 2008).
Breast feeding reduces postpartum weight retention in all categories of pregnancy body mass index (BMI). Weight retention was eliminated by 6 months postpartum.
Horray! A simple and effective way to loose weight after pregnancy, not to mention the other benefits of breast feeding including; increased immunity for baby, decrease cost for parents, decreased environmental impact, and bonding between mother and baby.
