Post Pregnancy- Nursing and Exercise

I’ve received quite a few questions regarding nursing and exercise.  Many women are concerned that it will decrease their milk supply if they exercise and nurse.  There is no connection between exercising and milk supply.  Milk supply can however be affected by too low of body fat and or not enough fluids.  Another concern of nursing women is fear that the baby won’t like the taste of milk after exercising.  In my experience, this has never been issue.  However, I have read that babies can dislike the taste of lotions and or perfumes.  So no more excuses…get moving and lose the “baby weight”!  Just be sure to stay hydrated with plenty of water.
