Some herbal ingredients may pass into breast milk, so it is generally safer to begin herbal weight loss treatment after complete weaning. Immediately after weaning, postpartum hormones (prolactin and estrogen) re-balance, making it an optimal time to start metabolic-regulating herbal medicine. A 2021 study in the Journal of Korean Obstetrics & Gynecology found that women who began dieting within 12 months postpartum had a 38% lower weight regain rate than those who started after 2 years. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic's postpartum weight loss program prioritizes qi and blood recovery while simultaneously targeting fat breakdown — available via telemedicine immediately after weaning.
