Random query regarding stress on post partum weight loss. My 14 week old baby has severe reflex, bottle aversion and poor weight gain. This has been such a stressful few months with baby and stared at 3 weeks and still baby not settled. I am very active getting over 20000 steps each day sometimes il to 30000 when baby unsettled with all the walking about. I do weights several times a week. I had been prioritising protein but recently with stress with babies bottle aversion my apetite/ intake have been minimal and sleep has been awful. The scales aren’t budging I do not know how i haven’t lost weight, I feel like I have and know I should have with tracking intake and being in clear calorie deficit. Is this all stress related? Cortisol effects, wedding rings still don’t fit post partum could be fluid retention. This is my third pregnancy and my other two with I did the same prioritised walking, weights and protein intake and the weight came off so easy. Anyone experience anything like this with stress causing body to hold onto post partum weight
