Re: When does the weightloss kick in?

But I've certainly noticed big drops in my supply...over my last 11 years of almost nonstop pregnancy and/or nursing... When/if I've *LOST* weight while nursing, which is what the op asked about. I'm certainly not advocating gaining weight and eating carelessly. I'm just saying that my years of successful breast feeding with 5 happy healthy kiddos has shown me that losing weight doesn't happen easily or naturally for some of us, and that it can even diminish our supply to a state of constant wondering, "am I making enough?" I'm typically a well-supplied gal... So for me to start to worry about supply is a BIG deal.

What does your diet look like? I found that eating a good breakfast is the most important thing for me. I was eating 4 eggs with cheese and diss age and a bagel every morning before I could go through the rest of the day eating normally.

You imply hormones, but what hormones, and sources?

Re: When does the weightloss kick in?
It is common PP for a woman's thyroid hormones to flux according to my endocrinologist. This can make it hard to lose weight as well. I had to go on synthroid. Once my thyroid hormones were stable I was able to diet and lose weight.

I think hormones play a role too. I took birth control after #1 and struggled with supply issues and never lost any weight. We EBF for a year.
I am now almost 3 months post partum with #2. I am EBF again, but this time no birth control as hubby is getting a vasectomy. My supply is great, I make an extra 3-4 oz a day and I'm pumping/ working full time. I have also lost 20 pounds extra from what I weighed when I got pregnant (granted, I was 50 lbs overweight before having both babies and didn't gain more than 15 lbs with each). I am now on weight watchers as a nursing mom trying to lose the rest of the 30 lbs to get me back to my newlywed weight. So far I have lost and gained the same 4-5 lbs over 3 weeks. So we shall see if I have any other success.
