losing too much weight while breastfeeding?

Question

I got back down to my pp weight at about 12 weeks. I gained 40lbs. Pre pregnancy weight was 115 and now I'm struggling to keep my weight up. 105 right now. Any tips?? Others going through this? Really looking gross.... Feeling gross.😞

Answer

That is a nice problem to have , I wish I had lost as much weight as you have .

Answer

You need to increase your calorie intake. Eat snacks between meals.

Answer

Have you tried protein shakes? I'm not sure if it's breastfeeding friendly, but it's a good way to get some meaty calories... good luck!

Answer

Wow. Some of these moms could be a little nicer. I'm having the same problem and I eat a lot and still struggle to keep my weight up. Maybe try ensure or something and drink with a few meals a day? I know more who have had the same problem and once they stopped breastfeeding got back to their normal weight.

Answer

It is recommended to increase your daily calorie intake 300-500 calories a day while breastfeeding.
