breastfeeding and weight loss - New Moms

KevzQueen · 08-25-2006, 05:51 PM

For the ones who did breastfeed, did it really help you lose weight? Also, if you don't mind answering, did your breasts get droopier from all the feedings? I've only breastfed my son, but it was for a really short time. If it's something that a gym can fix, that's fine.

I have breast fed all 3 of my kids. I did lose weight pretty quickly also. With my first dd I lost all my weight by the time she was 4 1/2 months. With my ds I lost all but 4 lbs by the time he was 6 months and with this dd I do not know how much I have lost really. But I am getting there. She is 4 1/2 months and my goal is to have my tummy firmer by Halloween.

sounds great. Both of us win. I hope I produce enough milk to do it for awhile.

I've lost 30 lbs since giving birth. You really have to watch your diet in order to help the weight be lost.

Oh I forgot to mention though that my breasts did get droopy too. But a good bra does wonders for them.

I lost weight pretty quickly with Madison and I lost a bunch of weight quickly with Hayden too but I still haven't lost it all. I had lost all my pregnancy weight with Madison by six months. I actually lost more weight.

Wow, y'all have done great with the weight loss. I plan on watching my diet and exercising. I've slacked this week, but hopefully I'll get back into it.

I'm sure the gym will help my boobs get up. I could see a difference after going to the gym just a couple days. I hope it's the same after the baby.

breastfeeding is a great way to loss the weigh. i lost 20 pounds in 3 months! all from BF'ing. my breast are a little droopy but it is not like they were perky that much before

anyways...i have a husband now, do not need to impress anyone any more!

I think I just have a boob obsession. Both of us enjoy them so I like them to be firm. That's ok though, I'll just do lots and lots of chest exercises. I must, I must, I must firm up my bust!
