Are Athletes Allowed to Breast-Feed?

A well-balanced diet surpasses other conditions for breastfeeding
Athletes Need Increased Nutrients While Breastfeeding
Athletes can also breast-feed their baby. With a doctor’s guidance, most women can engage in sports or some exercise along with breast-feeding.

When moms exclusively breast-feed their infants, they need to consume approximately 670 extra calories every day. If the mom wants to lose calories gradually, it is advisable to add approximately 500 calories per day for the first six months and 400 calories per day for the second six months. Mothers engaging in physical workout need more calories. The actual number of calories depends on the duration and intensity of workout.


There is a certain set of guidelines that needs to be followed while planning a well-balanced eating plan for athletes and non-athletes, alike. It is better to seek the help of a registered dietitian nutritionist at www.firsteatright.com to plan a customized meal plan for the breast-feeding mother.
​

Fluid needs increase during the breast-feeding period. The average needs differ between 8 to 12 cups per day for food, beverage and water when the breast-feeding mom is not exercising. Work out sessions elevate the need to drink fluids to an even greater extent.

​Post Pregnancy Weight Loss. Bangalore - 02 March 2013 writes......


​Motherhood brings unparalleled joys. It brings indescribable agonies of body too. And being a fitness freak for7 long years, my whooping 21kgs of weight gain sent me into throes of despondency. I was at the brink of desperation to get rid of those unhealthy flabs. 83kgs was weighing me down, literally. I joined my gym back a year later but a twisted ankle and some silly cysts erupting from my ovaries made my struggle a bit more severe.

My distress was growing manifold. My yoga, my dance, my weight training..i missed them all. And more than that, missed my fitness. And then ; I thought "if not now, then never". A newspaper ad took my resolution flying towards 'first eat right'. And there she was, my angel, Dr. Nafeesa. and there was no looking back after that .............................  http://www.firsteatright.com/testimonial.html
