Many Moms worry that exercise will impact their ability to successfully nurse their babies, but research has shown that moderate exercise does NOT affect milk supply, milk composition, or babys growth! One study even showed a slight increase in milk supply in women who exercised! Here are some fun facts and tips for the exercising mama! * Did you know that breastfeeding can burn up to 500 calories per day! * Dont forget to stay hydrated! Make sure you get plenty of fluids for better workouts and milk supply. Many lactation consultants recommend you fill up a glass of water to drink at each nursing session. Have water handy before, during, and after your workouts! * Exercise is a great stress reliever for new moms, and theres no reason you cant return to your fitness routine and continue breastfeeding. Just remember to listen to your body!
