Hello, thanks for writing in, and congratulations on nine months with your little one. It's great that you're thinking about your health too.
I'd suggest skipping the ACV tablets for now. The evidence that apple cider vinegar helps with weight loss is weak, and the effect is small even in studies. Safety data for supplements during breastfeeding is limited, and many of these products contain added ingredients besides the vinegar. ACV can also cause acidity, nausea and stomach irritation, and it may affect your teeth and potassium levels with regular use. Even with only 2 to 3 feeds a day, it's wise to be careful with weight-loss supplements.
At nine months, your body is still recovering, and slow, steady loss of about half a kilo a week usually works better and keeps your energy and milk supply stable.
Next Steps
Start with food and movement, and give it 6 to 8 weeks. If the weight isn't shifting, get your thyroid (TSH), hemoglobin, vitamin D and B12 checked, as postpartum thyroid changes and low iron or vitamin levels commonly cause tiredness and stubborn weight. We can then plan a diet that suits you.
Health Tips
- Eat 3 balanced meals with 2 light snacks, and include protein every time (dal, eggs, paneer, curd, sprouts)
- Fill half your plate with vegetables, and choose whole grains over refined flour
- Don't crash diet or skip meals, as this drains energy and can lower your milk supply
- Cut down on sugary drinks, sweets, fried food and packaged snacks
- If you want vinegar, a small amount of diluted ACV in a salad dressing is a gentler option than tablets
- Walk 30 minutes daily and add light strength exercise or yoga when you feel ready
- Drink plenty of water, especially when feeding
- Sleep as much as you can and ask for help at home, since poor sleep makes weight loss harder
If you're still worried, do book a consult and we can look at it together. Take care.

Since you are 9 months postpartum and you're breastfeeding the baby, i would not recommend starting PLIX ACV tablets. ACV tablets are not a proven or necessary method for postpartum weight loss, and combination supplements may contain additional ingredients whose safety during breastfeeding may not be well established.
For sustainable postpartum weight loss, focus on adequate protein, balanced meals, fibre, hydration, sleep and gradual physical activity while ensuring your milk supply and nutritional needs are maintained. You can absolutely work towards weight loss while breastfeeding, but crash diets and unnecessary fat loss supplements should be avoided.

Losing weight gradually while breastfeeding is safe, but starting a new supplement like an ACV tablet isn't something to do without checking first. Some ingredients in these blends can affect milk supply or digestion.
Next Steps
Please check with your gynaecologist or your baby's paediatrician before starting it, since your baby still feeds on you.
Health Tips
Focus on a balanced diet and regular movement for now. Weight comes off steadily as feeding patterns settle.
