Breastfeeding Back to Shape

Visitor Question: I have one month and 10 days old baby girl. I am feeding her my breast but from last one week I am expressing my milk and feeding her.

I heard breastfeeding helps the body to come into shape often soon but do expressing also have the same effect to the body?

Breastfeeding Magazine Response: Moms who are breastfeeding tend to return their bodies to their pre-pregnancy weights faster than moms who do not breastfeed, but it makes no difference if it is expressed milk or breast-fed milk!
