Will breastfeeding make me gain or lose weight?

Dear user, thank you for your entry. Breastfeeding will consume extra 330-500 kilocalories per day, and this additional calories required will be dependent on the mother’s age, BMI, activity level and extent of breastfeeding (exclusively breastfeeding vs breastfeeding and formula feeding). Generally, with the appropriate nutrition, breastfeeding mothers would generally lose weight and return to pre-pregnancy weight 6-12 months post delivery, with the most weight loss in the first 6 weeks.
