    How can I lose weight after giving birth?

    Dr. Howard E. LeWine

    M.D. Chief Medical Editor, Harvard Health Publishing · 40 years of exp

    The formula for losing weight after giving birth is similar to the formula for anyone wanting to lose weight. It means eating and drinking fewer calories than are burned through everyday activities. However, our basal metabolic rate slows down as we reduce caloric intake, adding to the challenge. After delivery, finding bursts of 10 minutes to exercise during the day, trying for quality sleep and breastfeeding can also help.

    How do you keep a newborn clean?
    Sponge baths are enough to keep a newborn clean for the first week or two. In fact, too much bathing could dry out your baby's skin. Use a warm, damp washcloth or unscented wipes to gently wipe around neck folds and other areas where breast milk, formula, or moisture might accumulate, finishing with the genitals.

    What should I do if I have a baby?
    Here are a few basics to remember: Wash your hands (or use a hand sanitizer) before handling your baby. Newborns don't have a strong immune system yet, so they're at risk for infections. Make sure that everyone who handles your baby has clean hands. Support your baby's head and neck. Cradle the head when carrying your baby.
