Did you lose weight after weaning your baby from breastfeeding?

Question

I am having trouble losing the last couple of pregnancy pounds. I have heard that some women hold onto a few extra pounds until after they wean from breastfeeding. What was your experience? Did you lose any weight after you quit breastfeeding?

Answer

I lost weight and stayed small while breastfeeding but when I weaned, I gained weight quickly

Answer

I’ve been breastfeeding/pumping for a year and I am currently 12 pounds lighter than before I became pregnant. 135 when I got pregnant. 174 when I gave birth via csection. And currently 123 pounds. Hoping when I stop I can hold at about 125 or 126. But we will see what I can do to bulk up with muscle growth and a little extra fat after breastfeeding comes to an end.

Answer

I've heard it's more common to lose weight while breastfeeding and gain a few pounds after weaning.
I've gotten down to my ideal weight for the first time in my life and I'm kinda worried I'll gain it all back when I'm done breastfeeding.

Answer

I tried to hit “no” but somehow hit “yes” by mistake lol sorry.  But I actually gained weight after I stopped breastfeeding my son.
