I'm Breastfeeding--Why Can't I Lose Weight‪?‬ Nap Time Nutrition

Breastfeeding is often credited with being the fastest way to lose post-baby weight, but that's not the case for 1 in 5 women. Let's talk about the biology behind breastfeeding and weight loss.

This segment, like all my segments, is weight-neutral and does not advocate weight loss as a method of pursuing health. Weight is a complex issue. The scale will never be able to tell you if you're healthy or not. In this video, I referenced a number of other videos:

Welcome to Nap Time Nutrition! I’m Yaffi Lvova, RDN. In this space, I share information regarding nutrition from pregnancy through toddlerhood. The advice given in these segments does not replace medical advice given by someone who has your medical chart and knowledge of your history and full circumstances.
