I did find that getting my body back after weaning was more difficult than pre-baby (and even immediately pp) though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1532416 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 12:41:00 +0000 swedishfish 1532416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about 15 pounds without even realizing it. Now I'm working hard to get it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1532404 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 12:31:49 +0000 Katrocap 1532404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. It sounds like I just need to be aware that I might gain weight and then eat less/exercise if that starts happening.</p> <p>@mrs.high heels: Ha! I didn't lose any weight when I started BFing, either, so maybe I'll shed some pounds when we wean. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1532055 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 05:45:02 +0000 bushelandapeck 1532055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained a few pounds after weaning before I realized it was happening. I started watching what I ate and exercising more and lost them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1532024 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 02:01:49 +0000 MrsStar 1532024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I lost all my baby weight plus a bit more while breastfeeding, and I definitely gained some back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1532018 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 01:17:18 +0000 sandy 1532018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me yes. I lost all the pregnancy weight plus some while BF. When she started eating more solids around 8-10 months and starting nursing less I started gaining weight bc I was used to eating a lot each day. I am going to try and be more aware of it next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1532009 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 00:41:37 +0000 owlmom 1532009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained 5 or 6 pounds before I realized what was happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1531982 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:51:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1531982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lose weight when weaning. But I also don't lose weight while breast feeding like some others! It's like my body holds onto every bit of fat to give to the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1531970 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:40:41 +0000 Smurfette 1531970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, like 10lbs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1531960 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:27:49 +0000 Weagle 1531960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did gain some back, but I was underweight while BFing. It definitely took a little while for my weaned metabolism and my BFing hunger to sync up. I didn't appreciate it coming back so quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-gain-after-weaning#post-1531952 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:15:54 +0000 Katrocap 1531952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you burn tons of calories while BFing, does that mean that you gain weight after weaning? </p>
