Weight gain during pregnancy is not an overnight phenomenon; however, it is neither easy nor wise to plan to shed off the extra weight by crash dieting. As new mothers need to accommodate with some life style changes with the baby and his nursing schedules, she needs some extra calories for lactation and adequate production of breast milk.

After 1-2 weeks of delivery on prior permission of attending doctor, the new mom can start light exercise or yoga practice as per the guidance for a yoga expert. In case, she get cannot get in touch with a yoga expert, she can start brisk walking for 15 minutes in morning and 15 minutes in evening in a plain surface. Later on, she can gradually increase the walking- time as well as impose exercise like jogging, running etc. subject to permission of her doctor.

Breastfeeding is a natural way which helps a lactating mother to shed off her pregnancy induced weight with any adverse impact on her health system; however, only breastfeeding process is not sufficient to regain the old slim and trim figure. This process is to be supported by active exercise and restriction on diet.
