10 days in, exclusively pumping, weight loss

Hello there!
Baby Ava is 10 days old today, I have been exclusively pumping and feeding breast milk from bottles, her day 5 check up she gained 2oz bless her instead of losing 🙌🏻, me however! Weighed myself this morning to find I’ve lost 1stone in weight! I only gained Ava’s weight during pregnancy so was back to pre pregnancy weight after I had her, I am a larger lady so wondering if that is a factor maybe but…. 1 stone weight loss in 10 days!! Anyone had any similar experience??

Exclusively breastfeeding will make you loose lots of weight. It happened to me with my first but you need to becareful after 6months of exclusive so you don't gain those weight back..enjoy

Hi Kat,
This question isn’t actually related to your question but I’m really struggling with my little one she’s 3 days old and breast feeding isn’t working out well for us.
How much do you pump for your little one each feed and how often are you feeding her? I’m going to try pumping from today but worried about her having enough etc
