weightloss

I wasn't sure which topic to post this in but here is as good as anywhere I suppose. Did anyone lose a lot of weight pp? my bub is just on 6 months and I'm still breastfeeding about 5 times in a 24hr period (other then that we are on solids) but anyway, I know your weight can fluctuate while breastfeeding or something like that? Did most people gain weight or lose weight? I seem to have lost a lot of weight at this point and I'm starting to look quite thin... I don't want to stop BF completely but Im hoping that isn't the cause for me losing to much weight... opinions/ideas for weight gain? and what happened to you with your weight PP?? thank you x

In order not to lose too much weight while breast feeding you need to up your calories. I lost at first from bfing and now I have gained it back and I am preggers again so we will see! But yes bfing does after cause women to lose weight!

This!

At the start of this pregnancy I lost 8kg (17.5lb) and it wasnt a lack of calories so the dr suggested increasing my dairy, full fat yoghurts, milkshakes and especially banana shakes.
I gained 2kg back over a couple of weeks and haven't lost anymore.

I do eat a lot.. I guess it's still not enough. Bah! It's hard to even find time to cook a meal or prepare food or anything!
