Pounds have you lost breastfeeding?? Was there a difference in how easy the weight came off with each of your kids if you have more than one??

I lost all of my pregnancy weight plus 10lbs so about 40 lbs total and I lost the pregnancy weight within a few months of my son being born. He is now 19 months and I haven't been this weight since before I was pregnant with my 8.5 year old twins.

I wish. Breastfeeding hasn't done me any favors, so to the gym I go!

I don't know the total pounds lost. After DD#1(ff) waas born, I lost all but 10lbs. After DD#2(ebf) was born, I lost all plus 5lbs left from DD#1. After DS was born, I lost it all plus the baby weight left from DD#1. All that weight lost after DS was born was all lost within 4 months of his birth.

Lost every ounce within six weeks, got it all back by six months. I don't recommend the "mom never gets to eat" diet!

Lost about 40lbs, all thanks to breastfeeding :)
Oh and I only gained 3lbs during my pregnancy, so losing that weight was pretty sweet lol.

I gained 25 lbs with my dd & had lost all of it plus 4 lbs by the time she was 2 months old; she's now 4 months & I've gained those 4 lbs back :( I always seem to stay at the same weight but I really need to lose about 30 more lbs
