Working out while breasteeding?

jojuan · June 2010

Hey Ladies,

I soon want to go back to the gym but i dont know if there are certain workouts that can affect my supply i really dont think so but just in case what should i keep in mind? I have only read to drink a lot of water, is there anything else?

I dont think there is anything that will zap your supply

I never had that issue -

I just always felt tired and run down so it was finding the energy to work out period

I did a lot of yoga and pilates -

I never went to the gym, but I did quite a bit of exercise while nursing, mostly walking and swimming, but some workout videos, too. Never seemed to affect my supply. And by the way, how did I miss that you had your baby??! Congrats, belatedly!!!

the only thing abotu working out while nursing is that is might not feel to great when you engorged breasts are jumping up and down. LOL

So I would suggest wearing on or two tight sports bras to avoid the pain.
