Everyone talks about how breastfeeding shifts all your baby weight, but am I the only person who finds exactly the opposite? After DS was born 2.5 yrs ago I put on 20 pounds in 4 months BF. Have new baby now and seem to be going same way. I walked out of hospital weighing exactly what I did before conceiving, in my old pre-pregnancy clothes 6 weeks ago, but already seem to be piling it on. Partly due to feeling so hungry all the time. What can I do? Am trying not to eat loads of biscuits, but I feel so hungry all the time that I'm just eating much more than I normally would at meal times. Am already half a stone up and really don't want to end up looking like a big lump again. All I read about tells me how BF really helps you burn the excess pounds off, so am I some freak of nature or has anyone else had the same experience?
