Losing too much weight?

Question

Hey ladies!  Just wondering how much you lost and how fast.  I'm 16 days post partum and have lost 22 lbs. That seems a little excessive.  I am breastfeeding... anyone else losing fast??

Answer

I agree with Alicia when you breast feed you burn 700 calories per a breast per a feeding.

Answer

Cool :) good to know! Just feeling super tired and what not, but that's probably normal with a two week old baby.  Thanks ladies

Answer

Totally normal. You lost the weight of the baby, all the amniotic fluid, the placenta, your body isn't pumping as much blood, and swelling and water weight, and to top it off breastfeeding burns extra calories. :-)

Answer

With my first I lost 34 pounds in 3 days and I wasn't breast feeding it was all baby and extra fluid
