The Truth About Losing Weight While Breastfeeding I Science-Backed Tips
Does breastfeeding really make you lose weight? If not, why does everyone say that it does??? In this video, I break down the science behind weight loss while breastfeeding, including calorie burn, prolactin, cortisol, estrogen, postpartum weight retention, and why the experience varies so much from one woman to the next.
