Summary:
A study was undertaken regarding whether women's weight loss during lactation would affect the weight of their infants
Overweight breast-feeding women at 4 weeks postpartum were assigned to diet-and-exercise or control groups for 10 weeks
The diet-and-exercise group lost more weight and fat than the controls but the growth of the infants in the 2 groups was similar
Conclusion:
Weight loss by breast-feeding mothers of about 1 pound/wk 4-14 weeks postpartum does not affect growth of their infants
