“…The second important limitation is the absence of a control group (non-lactating mothers) to eliminate the effects of other factors that may impact weight change among lactating mothers further that breastfeeding. Furthermore, several studies that reported a direct association between breastfeeding and weight loss have adjusted for potential confounding factors particularly pre-pregnancy weight or BMI, parity, energy expenditure or physical activity, diet or food intake, sleep deprivation and smoking [ 24 , 56 ]. Unfortunately, data on those factors was not collected in our study which did not allow us to make adjustments.…”

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of an infant’s life is an important factor for their optimal growth and health. Breastfeeding also has maternal benefits and can assist with postpartum weight loss. As shown by previous studies, postpartum weight retention can contribute to obesity. Objective: To quantify the human milk and evaluate the effect of breastfeeding on maternal weight loss during the 12 months postpartum. Method: This study included 70-mother–baby pairs. Infants’ intake of human milk and water from other sources, as well as the body composition of the mothers, were measured at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month postpartum by using the deuterium oxide dose-to-mother technique. Results: There was a significant change in the mothers’ body composition between the first and twelfth months in exclusive breastfeeding women compared to not-exclusive ones. Similarly, the difference between the quantities of human milk intake was highly significant in exclusive breastfeeding women compared to women who were not exclusively breastfeeding. Conclusion: Our results showed that exclusive breastfeeding for twelve months has a significant effect on postpartum weight loss among Moroccan women and that it is an effective way to control overweight and obesity among lactating women.

“…The limited research that has occurred was conducted in specific geographic areas, utilized different assessment tools, and included light intensity activity when reporting physical activity guidelines making it difficult to compare MVPA outcomes across interventions and across countries. [12][13][14][15][16][17] As MVPA contributes additional health benefits when compared with light physical activity 6 and there is a lack of consistently reported data, there is a need to assess a nationally representative sample of women with young children to understand their MVPA and sedentary behaviors. Furthermore, a majority of the research in this area has focused on the postpartum period (⩽1 year after birth).…”

“…14 Conversely, another study found weight was not associated with physical activity during the post-partum period. 17 These studies were also limited to women with children less than 1 year of age. Additional research regarding BMI and other sociodemographic factors that have been found to be associated with MVPA in the general adult population such as marital status are needed.…”

Objectives: Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity provides multiple benefits to women after childbirth. To achieve these benefits, the recommendation that adults obtain, 150 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week and reduce sedentary behaviors, also applies to women in the post-partum phase of the life span. However, research examining the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary behaviors of women with young children (0–2 years) is limited. A greater understanding of these behaviors from a nationally representative sample is needed. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to determine the levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary behaviors of a nationally representative sample of women with young children within the United States. A secondary objective was to examine the influence of body mass index and sociodemographic factors on these behaviors. Methods: Cross-sectional data from four cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007–2008, 2009–2010, 2011–2012, and 2013–2014) were used for analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated and a generalized linear model was used to investigate associations between mean minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, sedentary activity, body mass index, and sociodemographic variables. Discussion: Women with young children (n = 477) obtained 634 min in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week and this was positively associated with having a higher income (p < 0.001) and the number of children in the home (p < 0.001). In total, 62% of women were meeting the World Health Organization guidelines for aerobic activity. Lower odds of achieving guidelines was associated with being Black (p = 0.004), Mexican American (p = 0.009), or married (p = 0.042) compared with being White or not married. Finally, women accumulated ~5 h of sedentary activity per day, with higher levels associated with race (p = 0.005), education (p = 0.022), and number of children within the home (p < 0.001). Research efforts should continue to focus on strategies to help non-adhering women with young children achieve the physical activity recommendations and reduce time spent in sedentary behaviors.

Objetivo: analisar a prática do aleitamento materno na perspectiva de lactantes de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família do Norte de Minas Gerais. Método: estudo descritivo, qualitativo realizado com 12 lactantes. Os dados foram coletados no mês de agosto de 2020 por entrevista semiestruturada e tratados por meio da Análise Temática. Resultados: os temas foram as dificuldades em amamentar e os cuidados com as mamas e benefícios da amamentação e sentimentos relacionados. As lactantes expressaram conhecer a importância e benefícios do aleitamento materno, porém há dificuldades na prática da amamentação devido às fissuras e à dor nas mamas, até pela necessidade de trabalhar fora do lar. No entanto, externaram sentimento de prazer e satisfação com a amamentação. Conclusões: sugere-se que os profissionais de saúde apoiem e implementem ações de incentivo ao aleitamento materno que amenizem as dificuldades das lactantes e potencialize o bem-estar da mulher e da criança.
