I found that I lost a lot of my pregnancy weight quite quickly and I did breastfeed. But obviously I have no way of comparing with it I didn’t breastfeed

I got back to my Pre-pregnancy weight quickly, but didn't lose any extra. I EBF'd my first for 14 months and currently EBFing my 4mo.

I wish it was! I think it’s very personal but for me I’m 8 months PP and still carrying a lot of baby weight. I’m also hungrier so eating more still. From a lot of what I’ve read a good number of women hold onto fat whilst they are BF. I guess it’s natures way of making sure you’d still be able to feed the baby if food became scarce.
