“…However, according to the bioimpedance data, weight loss was related to lean mass reduction, while fat mass was increased. Our data are in accordance with a recent study in Mexico, showing reduced BMI together with a lean mass between the 8–16th week postpartum [ 57 ]. Although BMI has been taken as the gold standard for fat mass, increasing evidence indicates that it may not always be a good parameter to predict obesity, at least in some populations [ 58 , 59 , 60 ].…”

The first month of lactation is a vulnerable nutritional period for the mother. Our aims were (1) to evaluate the nutritional status of breastfeeding women in the first month of lactation, and (2) to explore different aspects of nutrition and lifestyle through a multidimensional approach. A total of 30 healthy breastfeeding women were enrolled in this study. Dietary pattern was assessed through a 72-hour dietary recall questionnaire (days 7 and 28 postpartum) and data were compared with Dietary Recommendation Values (DRV), and through the Adherence to Healthy Food Pyramid (HFP) questionnaire (day 28). Anthropometric parameters were evaluated by bioimpedance. Using factor analysis, nutritional dimensions were extracted, and linear regression models were used to analyze the association between anthropometric parameters and dimensions. Compared to the DRV, women showed insufficient energy, water, vitamin D, and potassium intake and excessive proteins, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and iron intake. We observed a moderate adherence to the HFP, with women being high in the fruits, vegetables, and oil categories, and low adherence to the physical activity, dairy products, and hydration categories. The nutritional dimension, including the HFP categories of physical activity, hydration, and animal protein intake together, was negatively associated with body weight (β = −3.7 ± 1.7; p-value = 0.047). In conclusion, during the first month postpartum, breastfeeding women exhibited several nutritional imbalances and poor physical activity negatively influencing anthropometric parameters. We propose a multidimensional approach to assess the nutritional status of breastfeeding women as a tool to detect specific deficiencies, allowing for personalized counseling.

“…On the other hand, triglyceride and VLDL-C levels decreased in the first 9 months and then increased at 12 months, and the trend was sharper among women who stopped breastfeeding after 9 months [ 31 ]. Physiologically, breastfeeding stimulates lipid mobilization from non-adipose tissues (e.g., the liver and muscles) into breast milk [ 32 ]. During breastfeeding, high prolactin levels stimulate lipoprotein lipase activity, which subsequently induces hepatic synthesis of VLDL, along with higher triglyceride clearance during lactogenesis [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Breastfeeding may protect women’s long-term cardiovascular health; however, breastfeeding-related postpartum lipid changes remain unclear. We aim to examine associations of breastfeeding duration with maternal lipids at 12 months postpartum. In a subsample (n = 79) of the Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES) cohort, breastfeeding status and duration at 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum were self-reported. Serum levels of lipids, including total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), high-, low-, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C), were measured from blood samples collected at 12 months postpartum. We used linear regression models to compare lipids by breastfeeding duration, adjusting for potential confounders. Women who were breastfeeding at 12 months had higher HDL-C (mean: 41.74 mg/dL, 95% CI: 37.27–46.74 vs. 35.11 mg/dL, 95% CI: 31.42–39.24), lower TG (80.45 mg/dL, 95% CI: 66.20–97.77 vs. 119.11 mg/dL, 95% CI: 98.36–144.25), and lower VLDL-C (16.31 mg/dL, 95% CI: 13.23, 20.12 vs. 23.09 mg/dL, 95% CI: 18.61–28.65) compared to women who breastfed for <6 months. No lipids were significantly different between women who breastfed for 6–11 months and for <6 months. Each month’s increase in breastfeeding duration was significantly, inversely associated with TG and VLDL-C and positively with HDL-C. Adjusting for fasting status, demographics, pre-pregnancy body mass index, breastfeeding frequency, and pregnancy complications did not appreciably change effect estimates. Breastfeeding at 12 months postpartum and a longer duration of breastfeeding in the first year postpartum were both associated with increased HDL-C and decreased TG and VLDL-C at 12 months postpartum.

“…Emzirmenin postpartum dönemdeki kilo değişimine etkisini değerlendiren araştırmalar incelendiğinde; annelerin bebeklerini tam emzirme, karma besleme veya sadece mama ile besleme davranış biçimlerinin, çalışma sonuçlarını etkilediği görülmüştür [59][60][61][62][63][64][65] . Postpartum 3. ayda 14330 kadın ve 6. ayda 4922 kadının incelendiği bir çalışmada, 3. ayda besleme yöntemlerine göre kilo tutulumu farklılık göstermezken, 6. ayda anlamlı fark bulunmuştur.…”

“…Bir çalışma kapsamında 6. aya kadar tam emziren ve 6.aydan sonra kısmi emzirmeye devam eden annelerin, emzirmeyle birlikte 3 yıla kadar kilo kontrolünü sağladığı bulunmuştur 63 . Postpartum dönemde emziren annelerin karma besleyen annelere göre doğum sonrası vücut ağırlığında daha fazla azalma olduğu 64 ve tam emzirme ile bebeklerini besleyen annelerin, diğer emzirme yöntemleri ile bebeklerini besleyen annelere göre postpartum 8. ve 16. haftadaki yağ oranının daha düşük olduğu belirtilmiştir 65 .…”

Gebelik ve doğum sonrası dönem, kadınlarda kilo alımının arttığı bir dönemdir. Bu dönemde alınan kilo, kadında aşırı kilolu olma veya obezite gelişimine yol açabilmekte, anne ve bebek sağlığı üzerinde uzun vadeli olumsuz sonuçlara neden olabilmektedir. Doğum sonu süreçte, lohusa eski vücut ağırlığına dönmesine yardımcı mekanizmaları kullanma konusunda, ebeler ve diğer sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından desteklenmelidir. Bu yardımcı mekanizmalardan birisi de emzirme olarak kabul edilmektedir. Postpartum sürecin getirmiş olduğu doğal bir fonksiyon olan emzirme, lohusanın önceki vücut ağırlığına dönmesi ve obezitenin önlenmesinde önemli bir aktivite olarak görülmektedir. Kilo kontrolünde emzirmenin; egzersiz ve kalori alımının kısıtlanması gibi yöntemlerle desteklenmesi, süresinin uzatılması kilo kontrolündeki başarıyı arttırmaktadır. Bu nedenle anne ve bebek sağlığına getirdiği diğer olumlu katkıların yanı sıra kadınlarda obezite oluşumunun önlenmesi için emzirmenin başlatılması ve sürdürülmesi ebeler tarafından desteklenmelidir.
