A member asked:
Do breastfeeding mothers gain weight while feeding? or maintain or lose weight while feeding. what is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will vary with each situation. If a BF mom eats as she would for her pre-pregnancy weight, taking vitamins & remaining well balanced with nutrition, baby gets all it needs and she looses weight. If she decides she is eating for two, she can easily gain by overdoing it.
