The reason for weight gain after pregnancy is not the new mother – it’s the people surrounding her. I will explain this in 3 different angles.
1.New mother’s family – the biggest misconception is that if we feed the mom more, mom will secrete more breast milk and the baby will grow stronger. Breastfeeding mothers are not broiler chickens – they generally need only 350-400 more calories to meet their nutritional needs.
2. New mother’s visitors – they should avoid bringing packaged foods as they contain artificial sweeteners and preservatives with no nutritional value.
3. New mother’s husband – they should make arrangements for the new mother to sleep at least 6-7 hours per day and 2 liters of water per day. Studies show that sleep deprivation and dehydration is the main reason for weight gain after pregnancy.

Sir, When can a new mom start dieting to lose weight after delivery?
New Mother channel where is it
I gained 18 kg weight during pregnancy and 11 kgs after delivery. Pls share proper diet chart for a week so that i loose weight as wells as my baby gets adequate nutrition during the feed. Now a day my stomach is growing like a balloon.
i don't think WEIGHT REDUCTION should be the main concern of any mother after going through a life changing, scarring process called pregnancy. are you trying to make women feel bad about themselves and want them to get EDs?
Muze to ye sunke aise lga plen aaya aaya aur sar ke upar se chala gaya😂😂
