BF'ing and WW
has anyone done this? my son will be 1 in a few weeks (NOOOOO) and I have to lose some weight but we are still BF'ing. When I signed up and added in the nursing (exclusively) it seemed like SOOO many points! I switched it to supplementing and it looks more reasonable but I'm wondering if I'm going to mess up my supply now. DS is nursing whenever we are together (before work, after I get home and before bed ... along with a night feeding if he wakes up which he has been doing way too often lately). and eating solids 3 times per day. I only pump once a day because I have an insane stash to get through.
Thoughts? experiences??
Our little hippo was as impatient as mom!
Hoping for a full 40 weeks!!
Re: BF'ing and WW
It can be very difficult to lose weight while nursing - even if you're trying. Your body needs a certain amount of body fat to make milk and it will cling to it.
There's nothing wrong with eating healthier and trying to get to a more comfortable weight but don't be discouraged if it doesn't come off easily or at all. Sometimes people lose a lot of pregnancy weight initially and then their body clings to the last 10-15 lbs until the baby is weaned. Your body needs more calories and fluids when nursing then when pregnant and your appetite will def be stimulated to compensate for what the body sees as a caloric deficit if you diet.
I had that experience with my daughter. My first 25 lbs melted off then I clung to another 10-12 until I stopped bf at 1 year. As soon as I weaned my appetite totally changed and the rest of the weight fell off with little effort.
Good luck!
