If you don't shower following a workout, the sweat on your skin may taste salty to your LO though. So far, exercise hasn't impacted my LO's breastfeeding at all. </p> chopsuey on "Does exercising change the taste of your breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-change-the-taste-of-your-breast-milk#post-68607 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:03:26 +0000 chopsuey 68607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise didn't affect my milk. I worked out about 30 mins.. Nothing too strenuous. </p> cupcakemama on "Does exercising change the taste of your breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-change-the-taste-of-your-breast-milk#post-68447 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:15:32 +0000 cupcakemama 68447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't notice any changes in LO's feeding. I started running at 6 weeks. My LO is also not picky - takes bottles now straight from the fridge. </p> Maysprout on "Does exercising change the taste of your breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-change-the-taste-of-your-breast-milk#post-68028 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:32:49 +0000 Maysprout 68028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started exercising slowly about 3 weeks after baby was born and got to pretty intense exercise by 3 months (2 hour bike rides that turn into races). I never noticed any change in her eating between hard workouts and easy ones or when I started exercising. Baby hasn't been a picky eater though either. </p> enjollah on "Does exercising change the taste of your breast milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-change-the-taste-of-your-breast-milk#post-67991 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:09:45 +0000 enjollah 67991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read somewhere that exercising post baby could change the taste of your breast milk which could affect your baby's reaction and possibly latching on? Did anyone have this happen to them or their LO? </p>
