Breastfeeding burns calories. Over 600 calories a day for
breastfeeding women who don't supplement with formula. 600 calories! That's
like getting two hours of aerobic exercise each day. A study published in the
Journal of American Dietician Association shows breastfeeding melting off inches around
your hips and buttocks. The reference is below.

Summary: Mothers who breastfed exclusively or
partially had significantly larger reductions in hip circumference and were less above
their prepregnancy weights at 1 month postpartum than mothers who fed formula exclusively.
