Does breastfeeding help u lose weight?

Question

breastfeeding help u lose weight?" /> Just wondering. I'm about 1lb/wk, still have 10lbs on me. Just regular gentle yoga, and some dumbbell weight mini sessions. I saw somewhere says the last 10lbs is hard to lose though. At least 5lbs on breast I bet 😑

Answer

I would say yes lol just had my son a week ago I've already lost 20lbs.

Answer

Yes, breast feeding is a natural way to lose weight as it helps the uterus go back into its original shape after baby is born too.

Answer

Breastfeeding uses more calories in your body to produce the milk, so you do need to eat a little more, but it depends on what you are eating as to whether you gain, lose or stay stable with weight

Answer

In my breastfeeding class, our instructor said breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day.  There is no exact about you can lose, it's all about calories in/calories out.

Answer

I've gained weight. With breastfeeding I am always absolutely starving

Answer

I didn't keep track of how much I lost each week but I feel like it did help me lose weight. 
I know ladies that didn't drop a single pound until they stopped breastfeeding though.
Each woman is different with how their body reacts to breastfeeding.
