I have liked Alyson Hannigan from How I Met Your Mother ever since her days as Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and now I like her even more! Today on the red carpet at the Emmys she was asked how she got back into such great shape after giving birth to her daughter Satyana Denisof (her husband is Alexis Denisof also of Buffy) less than six months ago.

The secret to her post-partum weight loss?
Breastfeeding, definitely breastfeeding!
While not everyone loses weight so easily with breastfeeding, many women do and it is wonderful to hear Alyson talk about that benefit of breastfeeding!
Hooray for Alyson! It’s fabulous when celebrities use their platform in support of breastfeeding. It makes me love them even more, too.
Good for her! Wouldn’t it be great if more celebrities championed breastfeeding?
