Upset About Your Post-Pregnancy Body? Stop Stressing Over It! Here's Why! by Dr. Kimi Suh


Upset About Your Post-Pregnancy Body? Stop Stressing Over It! Here's Why!

So many moms are nervous about getting back their pre-pregnancy bodies. One of the great added benefits of nursing is it burns calories, but you still need to make sure you get enough. A nursing mom needs an extra 330 calories per day. 

Too many moms are stressed over body image, and that isn’t healthy for you or your baby. Take it one day at a time. It took your body nine months to grow a baby; it will take a little while for things to go back. Remember these three important things:

  • Don’t stress. 
  • Spoil yourself a little. 
  • If you want chocolate, eat chocolate! 

And enjoy that baby!
