Does breast feeding really help to slim down

Hi, am just wondering . . . does breast feeding really help to slim down to your pre-prenancy figure? Any experience to share? Any idea which is the better way to slim down, by latching or expressing or they are both the same?

Re: Does breast feeding really help to slim down

Hi June,

Highly supporting BF. I stopped mine when my boy was 2 mths old coz I wan him to transit from BF to FM due to my work. But surely, BF can reduce & slim u down. I'm back to my pre-preggy figure but wif lil flabby tummy. If I can BF him longer, I will surely do so. In fact, I slimmed down even during my maternity. Ppl were askin me my secret to slimmin down. All I can say is to BF ur bb! BUT of course, u need to eat healthy to BF & not just bcoz u wan to slim down.

Re: Does breast feeding really help to slim down

You bet!
I weight 7kgs lesser than before pregnant.
But the most wonderful thing is that I can afford to eat most of the things and burn many cals still

Tummy is back to norm in abt 3 wks after birth hee..

Re: Does breast feeding really help to slim down

for me, although im losing weight quite slowly, but im still losing 1 kg per month.. i lost 10kg the 1st week.. i don do exercises.. so i believe breastfeeding helps me slim down alot..

Re: Does breast feeding really help to slim down

haha, i actually read somewhere that breastfeeding mothers should keep some extra weight for milk production. well, at least that is the excuse i'm embracing for my extra 5kg despite breastfeeding for 5+ months!
