Hello, ladies. My baby is 6 months old and I am breastfeeding. I've started gaining weight — about 4 kg in a week. I now weigh 81 kg. Before I gave birth, I weighed 72 kg. Has anyone experienced this? I keep hoping I’ll lose the weight once I stop breastfeeding. 😃

I experienced the opposite effect. I was losing weight while breastfeeding, but I was eating everything and overeating. The high calorie expenditure from producing milk is surprising, and I wonder how some people manage to gain weight. Hormones might be playing a role.

Please make sure to reset. I had my first child, and I breastfed for a year and a month, during which I gained weight. Before my first pregnancy, I weighed 48 kg, and I went up to 60 kg during pregnancy. After giving birth, I was 54 kg and gained up to 62 kg over the year. Once I finished breastfeeding, I lost weight and dropped to 51 kg.

Everyone is different. My sister, on the other hand, hasn't gained any weight. Could it just be hormonal changes? Or maybe a slight adjustment in her diet might help. 😊

This could very well be related to hormones and fluid retention, which often occur after childbirth and during breastfeeding. Don't worry—most of the weight will come off gradually, especially if you maintain a balanced diet and stay active. The most important thing is to be patient and avoid stressing over it, as your body is currently very important for your baby.

I'm currently taking care of myself and working on losing weight, even while I am breastfeeding. The pounds are starting to come off.

It seems like you're eating quite a lot. Remember to take care of yourself and listen to your body's needs. You're doing your best, and that's what matters.

At 8 months, I stopped breastfeeding, and I started losing weight. During breastfeeding, I was only gaining. Not everyone experiences weight loss in reverse like this 😁. During my first breastfeeding journey, I also gained weight, but I managed to lose it after it ended.

No, actually, I'm sending it. Although, I don't need to lose weight—at least, I don't want to.

I've been breastfeeding for a year, and I'm also gaining weight. I tend to eat a lot of sweets.

These swelling might be caused by water retention. Gaining 4 kg of fat in a week is impossible, so please don't worry.
