Ten Tips for Running as a Nursing Mom

A few months after Hannah was born, I started my journey as a runner. By the time she was 6.5 months, I started actively training for my first half marathon. During all that time, I breastfed.
Two weeks after Joseph was born, I started easing back into a workout routine. Then once he was 6 weeks old, I began actively training for my most recent half marathon. Again, all while breastfeeding.
Last week, I had a pregnant mom mention that she had been told you shouldn’t workout while nursing. She asked me my opinions.
Clearly, I think that not working out while nursing is completely nuts….

I ran all the time before the birth of my son and now I am getting back into it. (He is 3 months old) I’ve never been able to get passed 4 miles. Any advice?
