In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast, Gina and Roxanne delve into the much-requested topic of maintaining milk supply while exercising. They cover essential aspects of breastfeeding, returning to fitness, and how to maintain a healthy milk supply. Key insights include understanding the supply and demand system of milk production, the importance of baby's latch, ways to ensure good milk removal, and the role of hormones and nutrition. They also discuss common myths about breastfeeding and exercise, like concerns over lactic acid levels, the need to avoid chest exercises, and the misconception that breastfeeding alone will lead to significant weight loss. Practical tips for integrating exercise with breastfeeding are provided, such as wearing supportive but non-compressive nursing bras, staying hydrated, eating nutrient-dense foods, and incorporating active recovery. This episode emphasizes the importance of mental and physical well-being, both for mothers and babies, and encourages listeners to focus on functionality and health rather than postpartum weight loss.
