Is there a time frame after childbirth you should wait to have CoolSculpting done on your body? (photos)

kmlesly
I am a mom of two and currently three months postpartum. I have already lost 35lbs of my baby weight through diet and exercise but have 10-12 additional pounds I would like to lose. I would love to have my belly, flanks and possibly my inner thighs CoolSculpted. Will I achieve optimal results this soon after childbirth or should I give my body more time? Also, does removing fat cells by CoolSculpting effect your milk supply while breastfeeding?
