When did you lose weight, breastfeeding

I started losing weight around 5 months and continued to lose it. When I stopped I also dropped more and was lighter than before pregnancy. It says online that it's because the body keeps some fat reserve for milk production.
At 8 weeks in your still swollen inside of not outside, still holding water and your hormones are everywhere- give your body chance to settle.

Good luck

When I stopped

I lost ally baby weight in the first 3 months. Was back in my normal clothes in a fortnight.
Before you all hate me - exhaustion and a steady diet of biscuits meant I gained weight.. it's still there 😄

1st birth I lost 70% of pregnancy weight in the first few months but the remaining 30% didn't come off until I stopped bf

Second birth recently 6 months ago, I'm jogging, cycling, using the cross trainer for weeks and watching what I'm eating and I only managed to lose 2 fucking kilos.

I lost a lot very fast and then just hung on to some which didn't go until I stopped feeding. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule on weight loss when bf-ing.

Sadly having grown and given birth to a whole person changes your body in ways that you might not perhaps have been expecting. Please be gentle with yourself.

I think it varies so much by individual. Breast-feeding seemed to suck the weight off me. Within 6 weeks, I was below my pre-pregnancy weight, despite eating everything in sight and mainly lying around all day. I didn't have to try at all. My friend, on the other hand gained some weight after birth and couldn't drop a pound until she weaned her baby entirely.

The weight dropped off pretty quick for me

I breast fed exclusively for 9 months and the weight fell off me. But I was also moving house and going through a stressful break up so those factors may have contributed.

Don’t put pressure on yourself, you’re a new mother and you’re providing for your newborn first and foremost who couldn’t care less what the scales say!

When I stopped.

I went to weight watchers when last baby was 6 weeks old. My weight had crept up a bit more with each baby and by number 5 I was determined to do something about it once he was born! The weight came off steadily while I was feeding and I was eating plenty but cut out a lot of the crap (cake/biscuits/crisps) and definitely upped my intake of vegetables, fruit and legumes.

The weight fell off in the second 6 months. In the first 6 months i swear you body hangs onto it.

For me I have very slow weight loss in the months after birth and then from 9-12 months my weight drops dramatically so that now there's no fat left on me (baby is however on the 75 centile for weight!) hoping when i stop Bf that I put a bit of weight back on. Seems like it's different for everyone

I fed for years and 16 months was a sudden drop.

I don't think it helped that I was tired and health care staff and forums kept encouraging me to eating loads of extra calories. 🙄 I really didn't need them, whatever the science says, and I was perfectly able to feed my bab and eat normally. Yes, I did "need" extra calories but I also wasn't doing my normal routine so that pretty much cancelled the need out.

Nope, mine hasn't shifted yet, still EBF at 3 months. I spoke to 2 work colleagues over a coffee recently who were on mat leave last year and they both said the weight didn't shift until they stopped BF...sorry

You will hate me, but the weight dropped off me and I was back in my jeans three weeks later.

It isn't just weight, but the action of breastfeeding results in your uterus going back to prepregnancy size. I could feel it contracting when I was feeding. My midwife told me that it was back to prepregnancy size at 10 days, and it was all down to breastfeeding.

I only lost weight once I stopped! Then it practically fell off so quickly. I too expected to lose weight whilst breastfeeding but it never happened for Me
