The reason for weight gain after pregnancy is not the new mother - it's the people surrounding her. I will explain this in 3 different angles.

1.New mother’s family - the biggest misconception is that if we feed the mom more, mom will secrete more breast milk and the baby will grow stronger. Breastfeeding mothers are not broiler chickens - they generally need only 350-400 more calories to meet their nutritional needs.


2. New mother’s visitors - they should avoid bringing packaged foods as they contain artificial sweeteners and preservatives with no nutritional value.

3. New mother’s husband - they should make arrangements for the new mother to sleep at least 6-7 hours per day and 2 liters of water per day. Studies show that sleep deprivation and dehydration is the main reason for weight gain after pregnancy.
