Weight Gain and Breastfeeding?
Show your support
Haha same here ! I didn’t gain weight during pregnancy other than the baby’s. But once I had my baby and EBF, I keep gaining weight 😂. They lied to us. Breastfeeding doesn’t make one lose weight 😩.
Some people do lose weight breastfeeding but I've heard you often don't lose the weight til after you stop breastfeeding!
Think it just depends what you’re eating etc! They say it burns 500 calories a day, but obvs if we eat / snack on the wrong high calorie foods I can imagine it’d make us still gain weight! I’m in a calorie deficit now and limit myself to 1500 calories a day and then exercise and burning 500 of those breastfeeding I am slowly losing weight Xxx
I still look like im 5 months pregnant so havent lost any weight this time round. I am eating crap, and counting running after my toddler as exercise and this is my 2nd pregnancy so yeah the weight is hard to lose! But on the bright side, i have been consciously doing more cardio for passed week and feeling like my belly is down a little… just keep trying going forward i say!
Literally saaaaaaame. Whole purpose (aside from being good for baby) was to help me kick start my metabolism, I put a stone on through the pregnancy and I've put another stone on after 😭😭😭
