How much weight can you lose after giving birth?

Patient's question:

I only lost 3 pounds after giving birth, and I'm still 135 pounds. How can I lose weight? Are there any methods? I've tried many methods, but my weight just won't go down.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: When I was postpartum, I lost about ten pounds. I just finished postpartum, so don't hurry—taking care of the baby is most important. Weight loss should be gradual, especially for breastfeeding mothers. You should definitely avoid crash diets, as they can affect milk production. It's better to have a varied and diverse diet, eating more high-quality protein foods and plenty of vegetables and fruits. This can help you gain weight. It's also a good idea to have regular check-ups.
