Thank you for your question.
It is better to wait six months or after you have weaned your baby to attempt anything other than regular exercise and healthy diet to lose weight. This is because breast milk can carry several drugs to the baby. Unless it is widely tested and proven to be safe with breast feeding it is best to avoid it.
