Losing weight and nighttime sweats

2 replies

Hello,

My LG is 6MO, EBF, I lost my baby weight pretty quickly, great I thought, but I am now 5KG lighter than I was pre pregnancy, I know BF can burn about 500 calories and I presume Im just not eating enough in the day- has anyone had similar?

Other thing is night time sweats, I'm generally warmer after giving birth (prev always cold) but every night I wake up sweating. I think it's to do with the breastfeeding and hormones making milk on a night?

Any others out there with similar?

Thanks

I had the sweats and weight loss but they stopped much sooner than 6mo.
Are you diabetic (looking at your username), if so maybe ask the GP for some advice incase the weight loss is to do with that.

If you have weight loss and night sweats, it might not be the BFing. I would speak to your GP to rule out any other causes.
