How to lose weight while breast feeding?!

This is going to be my issue lol. My husband is going to help keep my on track. I'll be eating enough but it's more the type of foods. I wouldn't stress for the first 6 weeks (or however long until you're OK to exercise), then once you're good to do some exercise including that in a routine of self care will help get things moving

the only thing I can really do rn is walk walk walk but it don’t really seem to work. My husband is in the US rn while I’m in Germany so I’m the only one taking care of the baby as in rn🥰 having less sleep also makes me so hungry 😭

I never lost weight while breastfeeding. My advice would be to not worry about because you’ll drive yourself crazy worrying about your milk supply dipping. Maybe just focus on eating healthy and doing some exercise of you’re able. Until you at least stop breastfeeding.

Your worth is not measured by how much you weight. Just try to take a balanced diet and enjoy the time with baby. Breastfeeding can be romanticized and enjoyed if u let go of other superfluous things. You can get back in shape once u rest, balance diet and set up a routine 10 min workout. Just take care of urself and do not overload. One day at a time.

The breastfeeding hunger is real! Not sure how far out you are, but I will say my appetite did taper off to a more sustainable level around 2.5 months PP (I’m 4 months PP now). While I definitely get hungry, and still consume more calories than I did while pregnant, I’m no longer starving.

You may not want to hear this, but focusing on nourishing yourself is the best approach right now (over weight loss). You need the energy to feed your baby. Concentrate on fueling yourself with healthy foods (good protein, healthy fats, complex carbs) and avoid the processed junk and added sugar. Your body will do what it’s meant to do during this time. I’ve had plenty of friends complain about their weight while breastfeeding, but their go-to foods were oreos or pizza. So while part of this process is physiological/biological and out of our control, there are some things (ie: what we put in our mouths, how we move, etc) we can influence.
