When do you stop losing weight during breastfeeding?

Question

Before pregnancy, I was 70kg for like two years. At the end of pregnancy (nearly 11 weeks ago) I was 84kg. Today I am 65kg. Last week I was 66.6kg. I'm literally eating pretty much all day. Three meals, plus snacking. I feel like I'm consuming so many calories so don't understand why I'm losing weight so quickly. Does it stop at some point? Is 24kg (53lbs) normal in less than 3 months? I can't say my son is feeding so much either. He has steadily gone from 5lbs after coming out of hospital to 11lbs as of yesterday.

Answer

I lost 60 lbs in 3 months while breastfeeding, I had to stop at 5 months because I ended up getting pregnant again & my supply dried up.. but I was still losing weight up until I stopped! Now I’ve gained 15 lbs but I’m almost 6 months pregnant

Answer

Your thyroid could be hyper right now.  Have them check it.  I dropped so much weight after my first that it ended being my thyroid.

Answer

65kg is a decent weight/ unless you are over
5'6 I wouldn't worry! I'd LOVE to be that weight.. I'm still 70 and BF..

Answer

Check your thyroid!! 
After my first was born, I had postpartum thyroid storm… I also have HG with my pregnancies so I’m normally around 105 (I’m a petite person), I got down to 93lbs during the second trimester, managed to get back up to 103 by the time he was born, and then after he was born two weeks went by and I was 80lb without even realizing it until my husband gently told me I was painfully skinny and he was extremely worried. I started eating 5k calories a day or more and got myself out of a weight danger zone in a few months but I still struggled with losing weight. 
With my second I also had HG. Was better prepared, went from 108 to 98, got up to 115 by the time she was born and then was 105 once she made her debut. My midwife helped me be more prepared with some herbal remedies for the whole thyroid nonsense postpartum. I started off eating 1500k more calories a day than I normally would immediately, and I didn’t drop crazy weight like I did with my first. It was a BATTLE tho. If I skipped a meal, ate a little less, etc, I’d immediately lose 5lbs overnight. My second is now 15 months old and it’s definitely calmed down but I still lose weight very quickly if I skip meals. 
I say all of this to provide an example for you, because I’d definitely get that thyroid checked!! You could also just be eating way less than you think you are!  Remember to take care of yourself mama ❤️

Answer

I was 155lbs (sorry don’t know kg) pre pregnancy, but due to morning sickness got down to 140. When I delivered I was 200lbs. I lost weight pretty steadily while breastfeeding but it was most drastic in the first 12 weeks. I think I was back down to 155 by then. So about 50lbs in 12 weeks. It slowed down after that, but by the end of my 15 months of breastfeeding I was down to 130lbs. So about 70lbs total.
