Lindsay Arnold, a former Dancing with the Stars professional, has shared an encouraging update regarding her postpartum recovery and breastfeeding experience. Following the birth of her third child, Hayes Duff Cusick, on June 10, 2026, Arnold expressed relief that nursing her son has been remarkably smooth. She had previously harbored concerns about her milk supply and ability to breastfeed due to undergoing breast augmentation and lift procedures.
Arnold stated on Instagram Stories that her breastfeeding experience has been "the exact same" as it was with her two daughters, Sage Jill and June Cusick. She confirmed that her milk supply has been strong, and there have been no issues with latching. This news comes as a significant comfort to her, especially after having her third C-section.
In addition to her breastfeeding update, Arnold also shared that she and her husband have resumed working out together. She clarified that she received her doctor's clearance at her two-week post-operative appointment for light activity. Her current postpartum recovery plan, three weeks after giving birth, includes slow walking, light arm work with three-pound weights, and postnatal core exercises, emphasizing that individual recovery varies greatly.
