Popular designer Veekee James has sent a message to breastfeeding mums.
In a social media post, she advised new mums not to put themselves under the pressure and scrutiny of trying to lose their weight so fast.
Sharing her experience with breastfeeding, she informed pregnant women who believe they will lose their weight immediately after they give birth that it wouldn’t be so easy. She said they may need to wait till they are done breastfeeding.
“Breastfeeding mums no dey do weight loss
Exclusive breastfeeding mums no dey do weight loss.
If you’re pregnant and someone tells you Don’t worry, you will give birth and lose the weight, it’s a lie.
You go still wait another 9 to 12 months before you fit dream of doing weight loss.
I can’t go to work or go out because I dey find weight loss. Now my baby’s food has finished in the fridge, and I have to sit down in the house so I can breastfeed her from the factory”.
