I m actively breastfeeding my baby who is seven mths old,can i have hot water with honey n lemon to loose weight,will this have any effect on the baby

Bela Reshma replied. Hi Bela & Kitara,
Congratulations for your new bundle of joy.
SInce your babies are 7 and 4 months respectively you both can start a vigourous exercise routine. Don't diet since you are nursing but you can watch what you are eating. Don't eat lot of ghee, cheese and fattening stuff. It is not important at all.Nursing actually helps to reduce pregnancy weight. Try aerobics for 45 to 60 mins everyday. Then do ab exercise for 15 mins and on alternate days workout with lightweights.
If your metabolism is weak it can result into weight gain or your weight won't reduce fast. Honey, lemon and warmwater boosts your metabolism but you won't see any drastic weight loss by just drinking it.
Best of luck! and let me know if this helps you. Kitara replied. Hi Bela,

If you eat honey and nurse it will not harm the baby in any way. I am nursing my four-month-old and put honey in my tea all the time and she's fine. Honey is not meant to be consumed by babies under one year.

Question - I've never heard about the hot water and honey to lose weight - what are the details behind this method? I too am shedding my pregnancy weight so much success to you!
