Does Pumping burn calories?
I pump about 5 or 6 times a day....does it burn calories the way breastfeeding does? Just curious. I hope the answer is yes..I had my baby 13 days ago and i still have 13lbs to get back to pre-pregnancy weight.

yes of course, its the same thing, as long as your pumping as much as you would feed the baby

Definately! It's the production of milk that burns the calories. I pumped exclusively for 5 months and was back to pre-pregnancy wt. by 2 months pp and below that by the time I went back to work at 5 months.

When I was BF & pumping, I had heard that it burned about 500 calories a day.
