Weight gain while breast feeding
Is anyone having issues with weight gain while breast feeding?
Back story I have pcos got on a medication to control it ,got pregnant. while being pregnant I lost weight until my third trimester. I wasn’t sick or anything I just feel like being pregnant normalized my pcos! I had my baby lost what I had gained when I had him.. then lost 20 more lbs while I was home with him … he is now 6 months old my weight is still gaining even though I’m watching what I eat eating healthier portion sizing exercising etc and still breast feeding / pumping while at work. I weight more now then I EVER have!
Is anyone else having this issue is it normal? How are you dealing with it?
Any suggestions on preventing?
I have been referred to go back and see an endocrinologist just waiting on the appointment call

Tbh I heard both sides, either you gain weight BF or lose weight. In my case I stayed with the same weight for a few months and then started to lose weight very fast until I stabilised at my usual weight but eating like crazy tbh. And a family member lost too much weight until she stopped BF . However we are talking BF a +1 yo baby so I guess they take more than a under 1yo baby.
