Many young mothers and women who are just preparing to become them are concerned about the issue of excess weight. It is believed that pregnancy often spoils the figure. In fact, this is not always the case. In many cases, the woman herself behaves in such a way that she is gaining excess weight. There are some recommendations for a young mother that will help her not only maintain a good figure, but also possibly even lose a little weight.
Instructions
Step 1
Breastfeed. The benefits of breastfeeding for the baby are now being discussed and written a lot. The other side is the benefit to the mother. It is breastfeeding that helps well to lose weight after childbirth. The baby eats all the reserves accumulated in the mother. At the same time, it is important to drink additional vitamins if they begin to be lacking. For example, when the mother's hair and teeth are affected, it is better for her to drink calcium supplements. Either way, breastfeeding is a great way to lose weight.
Step 2
Healthy food. For any breastfeeding mother, the health visitor recommends a diet to reduce colic and allergies in the infant. Many nutritional advice remains valid after the colic period is over. In the diet of a young mother, there should be a large amount of vegetables, meat and fish, at least sweet, starchy foods, pasta. If you want to eat, it is better to cook something meaty. Mom should eat regularly and fully, no sandwiches on the go. It is advisable to limit bread too. When the mother herself eats properly, she then has no problems with the fact that the child eats only candy and does not want vegetables. She simply does not have sweets in her house, and the whole family is used to soups and cereals. Agree that it is somewhat hypocritical to require a child to eat broccoli with pleasure if the whole family found out about this vegetable only during complementary feeding.
Step 3
Walk with a stroller. Another way to deal with excess weight immediately after childbirth is to walk with a stroller on the street. This is quite a sufficient physical activity. If a woman sits on a bench with a stroller, she will not lose a single gram of excess weight, but will only gain it. But the one that walks for 2-3 hours almost without a break will retain an excellent figure. It is especially useful to plan a walking route in mountainous places. The ups and downs from slides and hills with a stroller will make the mother's legs slim and attractive.
Step 4
Take care of your child. This recommendation applies to mothers of already grown children. The risk of gaining excess weight is much less if you devote a lot of time to your child: play with him on the playground, ride down a slide; do not stand chatting with girlfriends, but run with the baby. We bought a scooter for the child, then rollers were bought for mom. And ride together. They gave the kid a ball - the whole family on the basketball court.
