It burns 500-600 calories a day for someone who is exclusively breastfeeding one baby. But many new moms, having "eaten for two" for many months, continue to overeat after giving birth and therefore don't burn enough to compensate for the excess... so it can help, but it won't make a woman lose weight who is not making smart choices otherwise.

I'm sure it doesn't for everyone.  But it burns tons of calories to make milk so yes it does. It worked for my mother in law.  She lost it all in 6 months
