Building muscle while breastfeeding

[luvmylbb]

Does anyone know if it is possible to build muscle while breastfeeding?I am currently nursing a 13 month old about 4-5 a day. Is it still possible to gain muscle, I am asking because I want lose about 7-12 more pounds and don't know if I should do fatloss or strength.

I have to say I nursed my last baby for at least one year during my fitness journey . It never bothered me ,I made TONS of milk . Just really drink alot of water ,and listen to your body ..I would do Cardio and strength.

I nursed 2 babies also. My first for one year, second 8 months. I think you can, take it easy, don't go too heavy or intense. Eat healthy and drink lots of water.

Bravo to you for keeping up nursing!!

Good resource is www.breastfeeding.com

I have six children, I nursed most of them until they were 2.5 or 3 years. I exercised like a crazy person and didn't have a problem at all with milk supply or anything else. I had read that sometimes your milk will not taste right to them right after you exercise, but I never had a problem with it. I would just make sure you are eating right, good and healthy!
