βš–οΈ Understanding Your BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a quick measure to see if your weight is healthy for your height. It helps indicate your risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

πŸ“Œ BMI Categories:
β€’ Under 18.5 – Underweight.
β€’ 18.5–24.9 – Healthy weight.
β€’ 25–29.9 – Overweight.
β€’ 30+ – Obese.

πŸ’‘ How to check your BMI:
β€’ Use the NHS BMI calculator online: https://www.nhs.uk/health-assessment-tools/calculate-your-body-mass-index/
β€’ Your GP can also measure and discuss what your BMI means for your health.

βœ… Tips for a healthy BMI:
β€’ Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.
β€’ Stay physically active regularly.
β€’ Track your progress and seek support from your healthcare team if needed.

Ensure a comfortable position for both parent and baby.

Seek support from health visitors, midwives, or local breastfeeding support groups.
