I am a breastfeeding mother wanting to loose weight. Are there any diet pills that wont harm my milk or son?
Question:
Answer:
No diet pills really work, and you should never take them while breastfeeding. Read the labels...they ALL say the same thing. Something along the lines of "if you take this pill with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you MAY lose weight." Even the so-called natural ones carry dangers with them that are not worth it.
There's only one safe way to lose weight effectively, and that is to eat a LITTLE less (by 200-400 calories) than the amount of calories you need to use in a day. If you eat too much less, you body goes into fat storage mode, and your attempts at starving yourself will backfire, as you will get fat quickly again when you start eating again.
Go to the site below to get info on how many calories you need in a day. You can enter your personal information and get a free report. The report includes what to have if you are breastfeeding.
Go to weight watchers if you really want an effective way to lose weight and keep it off.
breastfeeding helps you lose weight naturally because your body uses stored fat to help make the milk. All diet pills are probably dangerous for your baby. you dont want your baby losing weight, and everything you take, your baby is getting too. i have breastfead 2 children and gradually got back down to pre pregnancy weight in less than a year both times. good luck!
Brestfeeding will help you lose weight. It has already been shown with reasearch. Your body burns up calories producing milk, so the more you feed, the more you lose. Just don't stuff yourself, balance out you caloric intake/output.
well be sure it has no eferdra in it ,try slim fast
While breastfeeding does help you lose weight, it will only help if you are not "over eating". Weight Watchers has a GREAT program for nursing mothers and if you follow it like you are supposed to it works WONDERFULLY! It allows you to eat enough for your baby and you and still lose the extra weight! You shouldn't take any diet pills. Go to www.weightwatchers.com and find a group in your area!
breastfeeding does in fact help you lose weight as long as you are not overeating.no diet pill is safe while breastfeeding. The weight will go, keep your baby and his safety in mind. Almost everything you take in goes through your system therefore into your milk. Mother to mother wait until your are finished breastfeeding to try any diet pills.. you wouldn't have taken them when you were pregnant..why take them now when he is still depending on you for nourishment?
No, there's not. Whatever you take goes to your baby.
Please do not try to diet while you are breastfeeding. Your baby is getting all of their nutrition from you and the only sure way for them to get the very best start in life is for you to eat healthy and eat plenty. If you are denying yourself you are denying your baby. Please don't do that!!
If i was u i wouldn't even think about a diet pill cause whatever goes into ur body that child will have in theirs through ur breast milk just excercise and of course eat right. When u r no longer breast feeding try something
Do not take any diet pills while you are breastfeeding. The drugs can crossover in your milk and your baby will drink it as well! Breastfeeding will do the trick for you, but it takes time.
DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS, if you take diet pills it is going to go straight through the milk to the baby. Breastfeeding will help with it and also a well balanced diet will also work.
don't take diet pills take some slim fast or just go on an original diet and cut down on some sugars and fats
I have breastfed my oldest 2 girls and are in the process of breastfeeding my 3rd baby, continue feeding 4 as long as you can and the weight will come off little by little whilst u r feeding and when you stop u will find the last stubborn bit should come off I have always returned to my pre-pregnancy dress size this way just hang on in there!! The only pitfall to breastfeeding I feel is your breast will never look the same again, but you have a healthy, happy, contented baby to console yourself with!
EVERYTHING you comsume, your baby comsumes. Try exercise and eat healthy foods.
nope but breastfeeding will help with some weight loss.
I really dont think so... But youre doing the best thing in the world for your baby! Cuddoes to you for taking the harder road and breastfeeding. I would tell you to contact the hospital where you had the baby and ask to speek to thier lactation consultant. This is usually free. Ask her if there is anything you can do.
I wouldn't recommend diet pills, drink more water and try to incorporate lots of fruits and veggies. WW is great and walking helps.
In a word.....NO!
For the love of God and your child girl, put on hold your diet thoughts, once you're done breastfeeding join a gym, walk, run, look what you eat but don't use pills, they will harm you in the long run
WEIGHT WATCHERS IS PROBABLY THE SAFEST AND BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT WHILE FEEDING THE LITTLE ONE! YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT BY BREASTFEEDING ALONE! JUST WATCH WHAT YOU EAT!! GOOD LUCK!!
Check with your local pharmacist. They can tell you what is and is not safe to use when you are breastfeeding.
