[millie069]

Hey ladies! Whats your experience with breastfeeding and weight loss? Did it help at all? First time mommy here! I know its not the answer to weight loss post partum of course just wondering if it helped u drop some of those unwanted baby lbs we all put on!

How do you lose 45 lbs from just leaving the hospital? confused. Lol

I breastfeed. Not only does your baby completely benefit, but so do you! The weight falls right off. Add a light work out like walking and youll snap back. Plus you save money....formula I s expensive

I snapped right back into shape with breast feeding both my children and Im gonna breast feed again this time round all being well. Its a personal choice tho x

I breastfed my son till he was 15months old and I didn't loose anything but the initial 45 pounds right after leaving the hospital. Everybody is different.

I lost most of my weight breastfeeding but I was starving all the time.  I ate more nursing than pregnant.  I held on to the last 5 lbs until I weaned them but it definitely helps to shrink your uterus quickly.

I gained over 50lbs with my 1st lost only 12lbs from delivery an he was 8lbs 15ozs :/ but lost all but 5lbs pretty quickly bfing no dieting no exercise although I have a pretty labor intensive job I returned to after 12 weeks but gained back 20lbs when I weaned him. Bfing will burn up to around 600 calories a day just feeding lo I loved it!

I had the same question. This will be my first time breastfeeding and I hope that the weight comes off and more. I need to make life changes since I was already over weight I figure this will be beneficial not only for the baby but me as well.

Breast feeding is actually the best and easiest way to lose weight it burns a lot of calories. I have the babies and breast feed 2/3 and last more weight with the 2 I breadtfeed. I wish I could have breast feed all of them But baby #2 was such a daddys girl she would not latch on unless her dad say there and held her so we had to put her on the bottle so he could feed her.
