when do you start losing weight?
I'm 8w pp. My weight seems to be stagnant. I'm exclusively pumping all the feeds for my LO. I read somewhere that breastfeeding without top up helps lose 500cal a day. Is it because I'm not latching?
The production of milk is probably the one that consumes the 500 kcal regardless of whether we latch. But we probably consume a lot more than 500 kcal a day, so to lose weight, we also need other exercise, and to watch our diet. However, don’t go on a crazy diet, because you need to eat a well balanced diet to produced good milk for baby.

I'm breastfeeding exclusively and yet still no weight loss.. If you're affected by this, maybe you can add some light exercises after your gynae gives the green light?

I wouldn’t worry about weight. As long as you and baby are healthy and happy.
