Hopefully.. I didnt know u could breast feed while ur sick so I didn't and lost my milk when she was 2 months old. But now I know better.
I breast fed for a month with my son I couldnt produce enough milk to fill him up :( hopefully its different for my daughter I really want to breast feed.
I lost 26lbs in 11 days breastfeeding, eating junk and sitting around all day (imagine what I'd lose if I didn't eat junk and sit around all day, really have to try to stop that haha!) I love it, my daughter is 3 weeks old today and EBF and I love it!
Its so much easier I formula fed my daughter and always had to make sure I had enough formula. I could nt go on trips cuz I didn't have a travel bottle warmer and I once ran out of formula for her during a snow storm and almost had a heart attack lol with breast feeding ive never felt so free. And yes im also going to pump.. my hubby really wants to feed him <3
Thank u for posting this I was stressing about the weight and I was rocky about breast feeding but I am definitely going to do it now. :)
That is wonderful that it is making you lose weight so fast. I never paid any attention to my weight when i had my son but i look at the pics and i was super skinny a month after having him. I am hoping it will be the same after i have my daughter. I breast fed with my son and def will with my daughter. I cant stand people quitting bc they say it is too much work. I can understand medical reasons but just bc it is hard is not a reason. It is the best thing you can do for your baby and for yourself. And if you want to give bottles so family members can feed too then pump! I gave breast milk to my son till he was 9 months and only stopped then bc i stopped producing bc getting off schedule so bad but hoping to give my daughter breast milk for atleast that long hoping longer.
I haven't been this skinny in 2 years!!!
