Hey /fit/.

A woman I know is recording her physical activity and it has come to my attention that she believes breastfeeding counts. Should I punch her or is there something magical about breastfeeding I am unaware of?

Breast-feeding also can help Mom lose weight faster after giving birth, although some women don't return to their pre-pregnancy weight until after they stop breast-feeding.

A more rapid return to "normal" can happen for several reasons.

* Nursing your baby releases hormones and chemical messengers that help return the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size.
* Breast-feeding mothers burn 200 to 300 calories of stored fat each day to provide enough energy to breast-feed. This calorie burn typically lasts for the first three months.
* Most nursing moms want to give their children the best nutrition possible. Eating a healthy diet yourself is the most effective way to do this. By adopting healthy eating habits (and adding physical activity), you can expect to return to and maintain a healthy weight.

Why the fuck wouldn't you breastfeed your baby?

I plan on doing so, I just don't understand why people wouldn't.

Okay, fair enough, but I really just can't see it as physical activity.

it's not physical activity, but the calories in the milk have to come from somewhere
