After giving birth I have shed a total of 9.7 kg including the weight of baby (2.45kg), placenta and some water weight. The day after delivering my baby i'm still weighing about 56 kg, in about a month time I managed to shed 6 kg off. That could be the wonders of breastfeeding. Though I didn't latch my baby often but pumping milk does help to lost as well. But there is still 4 kg to my pre-pregnancy weight.
Have read some article from the web and get to know that the body has this intelligence to reserve about 10 lbs of body fat for producing breastmilk incase the body doesn't receive enough nutrients from food. Once wean off, the fats will shed off automatically. True enough, I have 4 kg of fats left to be burned which is equivalent to 10 lbs of fats.
Well hope what I have read is true, otherwise I will be stuck with a buldge tummy and the unsightly weight. Though I hope to lost the extra weights but still I would like to provide the best for my baby. Still pondering if I should continue to breastfeed my baby after 4 month. By that time it will be difficult to deliver breastmilk for my baby as he will be staying with my in-law during the weekdays.
