Is it normal to keep losing weight while breastfeeding ? Advice on gaining weight ?

Question

Okay so most of my life I have been very skinny. Going up and down from 95-120. No matter how much I eat (which is a lot) I actually feel like I over eat because of my anxiety I will just eat anytime I am bored 😑
When I was pregnant I was at 140 when I gave birth and I LOVED my body. I felt so much better about myself. I am exclusively breastfeeding with my second baby and wanting to gain weight and it’s just not happening. I eat allllll day. And I am at 112. I want to be at 130 😭 any tips??

Answer

No matter what I ate during breastfeeding I lost weight. Would have paid for that again! After I stopped breastfeeding my second I put on a bunch of weight.

Answer

same. I was 140 pre pregnancy lost a lot of that weight in first trimester and gained it all back by the time I had her. when I had her I dropped down to 116 and have not been able to get that weight back exclusively breastfeeding.. i’m constantly hungry but not gaining any weight. it’s really frustrating.. i’ve tried ensure drinks and adding more protein idk what i’m doing wrong

Answer

I don't have tips, I'm jealous. I haven't lost any weight while breastfeeding and I keep getting pregnant while breastfeeding so I keep putting on weight
