Currently breastfeeding DS2 who is now 5 months old. Since the birth I have lost a lot of weight (15kg) so that I am now at the very low end of a healthy BMI.
I feel like I can't discuss this with people in real life because they think I'm bragging about the rapid postpartum weight loss but quite frankly I look dreadful! I don't look (or feel) healthy at all.
Have had bloods done and everything is perfectly within range. Have any other mums gone through this and have any tips? Did you continue breastfeeding?
I know the obvious answer is to increase calorie intake but I am eating loads already. Breastfeeding is going so smoothly otherwise but I'm now starting to consider stopping at 6 months. Feeling guilty because I breastfed for much longer with DS1.
AIBU to consider stopping breastfeeding when health seems to be fine and the only issue is weight loss?
