Weight loss while breastfeeding is the Biggest myth ever and it is so overblown. People should stop telling women that breastfeeding will make them lose weight. This does not apply to all!

I know a number of women including myself who maintain or gain weight postpartum and weight loss really began when they stopped breastfeeding. In order to maintain supply to feed baby your body holds on to the weight. There is also the hormone prolactin that causes women to maintain weight. Plus lack of sleep and increased hunger when breastfeeding all make it really difficult to lose the weight.

Now I wish ppl would stop saying this because this gave me false hope.

I have not lost a pound since I was discharged from hospital 11 weeks ago. And yes I changed my diet, I have been doing home workouts, go on daily walks, and the weight is still the same as after I gave birth.

Hopefully i see a change on the scale when breastfeeding ends.

Anyone else struggling to lose lbs while breastfeeding?
