weight loss while BF

[Mad Scientist]

I actually put on weight with DD1. With DD2 I lost it straightaway. The only thing I did differently was have a toddler to chase after as well as a newborn.....with DD1 I just sat on my butt and bf and ate and bf and ate and bf and ate........good food mind you, but no exercise was the killer for me. My friend didn't lose weight with either of her kids. I think sometimes it just depends on the person. How much exercise are you doing? With DD1, I just made a point of going for a walk once a day. Eventually the weight started to go, but it took a while.

You are only 6 weeks post partum, give yourself a break!

I agree. 6 weeks isn't long enough to be worrying about your weight! Bub is still sorting out feeding and when to wake/sleep. You're probably not getting alot of sleep either with 3 little ones to run around after. I am just now begining to be able to really focus on myself and my eating and I am nearly 7months post partum. I have never lost weight whilst bfing either. If you want some inspiration, come and join us in the weightloss thread!

i didn't lose any weight while breastfeeding, but did lose some when i stopped. so go easy on yourself hun and just try to eat healthily and get some exercise.
