Losing weight while breastfeeding is not a myth. For every ounce of milk you make it's 20 calories plus the process of making the milk burns more calories. For example (since I pumped my milk) I made 50 oz of milk a day therefore I burned 1000+ calories a day. And yes I lost weight and I lot it fast. Yes the burning of calories will make the mother thirsty and hungry, but if you're eating well and filling up on tons of liquid then you won't gain weight. The only extra weight your body hold on to is the extra breast tissue and the weight of the milk itself. So loosing weight while breastfeeding isn't a myth. Although keren loosing weight while breastfeeding might be a myth because she eats a ton and a tons of crap so she probably won't loose weight.MommaLindsey2 wrote:Breastfeeding doesn't actually cause you to lose weight. That is a myth, normally it causes you to gain some weight because you are extremely hungry and thirsty while you are bfing.
