Who gained weight after BFing?

crene84 · December 2014

I just weaned DS a couple weeks ago and I already feel like crap. I hope it's hormones causing me to retain water or something, but I'm getting worried. I know people say BFing helps you lose weight but I didn't expect to gain weight right away after stopping. After DS was born, I lost the baby weight really fast and actually have been maintaining a lower weight that before pregnancy. I was hoping it was just chasing the kids around (while still exercising daily)...but now it looks like BFing may have played a big role in that. Might be time to watch what I eat more carefully!
