Spinoff to breastfeeding and exercise
Just curious for those who did breastfeed. If you were working out while BFding, were you able to lose the baby weight without cutting calories?

I counted calories and added an extra 500 cal a day to cover milk production when they were young and 300 as they got older. I was able to lose weight while breastfeeding. I nursed all my kids passed a year old and worked out throughout and it didn't affect my supply as along as I consumed my nursing calories.

I'm 10 pounds lighter and I was thin to begin with. I'm 5'7 and now124 pounds. I did not change my diet and exercise less now then I did prebaby.

Yes. And you can't cut calories. You need extra or your supply will be affected. That's what happened to me until I got the hang of it. It just has to be the right extra (not junk food-more protein, etc.). I also had to force myself to drink so much water. And I hate water. I drank until I couldn't drink anymore.
