Is there a group on here for Breastfeeding/Post-Partum Moms?

in Introduce Yourself
How does breastfeeding effect calorie needs and weightloss? Surely there are some other busy moms on here.

    There's a post partum forum. I'm a mum of 3, but not breastfeeding now. My baby just turned 1.

    You'll hear different things anyway...some mums lose weight while breastfeeding, yet gain when they stop, and some are the other way round. I had to mix feed as my supply was so poor, so it didn't make any difference to my weight loss one way or another.

    How much weight are you looking to lose? And how old is your baby?

    I have a 4 month old, I'd like to get back to my pre-baby weight, which is about 30 less than I am right now.

    Post-Partum Pack! (I didn't BF, so no advice for that area, sorry)

    Breastfeeding burns 300-500 calories a day. So you need to make sure you get at least 300 extra calories in your diet.
