Accelerates weight loss of the mother

Truth. Maintaining a balanced diet and the nursing mother so unique in the first months back quickly to their normal weight, as the body uses up about 700 calories every day just to produce milk for the baby. But worth a caveat: no use overeating or wrong. Breastfeeding helps, but does not perform miracles, and you need to follow a balanced diet. The mother still has less risk of postpartum hemorrhage and suffers less from colic, since, during breastfeeding, the uterus contracts and goes back to normal.
