No: Unless you are eating a lot more because breast feeding should help weight loss. Get your thyroid checked

It happens: Pregnancy does change your body in many ways, but breastfeeding is a natural way to take off some pounds.You may want to consult with a clinical dietition (hospitals,clinics) and set up a plan that uses your prepregnancy weight as a basis for a balanced calorie intake.They can make sure babies basic needs are still met, but you should be able to drop 3 lb/mo. or more.
