Christina Aguilera thanks baby Max for post-baby body

New mum Christina Aguilera says her slimline post-baby figure is down to breastfeeding. It’s true you know that when you’re breastfeeding, it helps you shed most of the weight you gain from the pregnancy and actually prevents you from gaining weight. I experienced it myself when I breastfed my little girl some 10 years ago!

The Dirrty singer - who gave birth to son Max Liron, her first baby with husband Jordan Bratman, two months ago - insists feeding hungry Max is “like a workout in itself”.

She told US TV show Access Hollywood: “I think they say that when you’re breastfeeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It’s a little easier. It’s like a workout within itself. It’s very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.”

Christina isn’t the only celebrity to have reclaimed their pre-pregnancy figure through nursing.

King Kong star Naomi Watts - who has an eight-month-old son Alexander with fiancé Liev Schreiber - shaped up by working out, but breastfeeding also helped her shed the excess pounds.

She revealed: “Three weeks before we started filming my new movie ‘The International’ I decided that I better get into changing my body back again.

“They gave me a trainer and it was very effective and also breastfeeding. That’s how you drop weight. Even though you’re just eating all the time he is eating too.”
