is it true that if you breast feed your baby, your baby fat goes away faster?

Answer 1

oh yeah. with both of mine the weight was gone in 2 weeks. I still had to work out after that because of the baby belly but i didn't have to lose weight just gain muscles

Answer 2

This is true, I breast fed my son and lost 20 lbs in the first 10 days. My doctor told me that it was because when you breast fed it causes the uterus to contract and go back down to its normal size faster, therefore you lose you stomach faster.

Answer 3

Yes it does because Your body takes calories for the milk out of your stored fat therefore you lose weight faster...

Answer 4

Yes! Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories. I was always within 5 lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight by my 6 week checkup.

Answer 5

Yep. I lost all 40+ lbs of baby tonnage within 5 months.

Answer 6

I think that it may depend on your body. I breast fed for 6 weeks and lost weight, but it wasnt until after i stopped breastfeeding that I returned to my prepregnancy weight, I seemed to have lost more after, but I think that it was becuase I was eating very well while i was breastfeeding and now i find myself skipping meals. Best of luck to you!

Answer 7

yes i cant remember right now but i belive it burns like 500-600 extra caleries a day

i breast feed my babes and i lost weight fairly quickly

Answer 8

Yup, so I've heard. BUT to be honest I breastfed my son for 8 months and I didn't loose or if I did I didn't notice and believe me I eat good when I'm breastfeeding.

Who knows... I think it depends on the person.

Answer 9

I think that's an old wives tale. But your body does burn about 300 calories a day producing milk.

Answer 10

Yes, it's a great fat burning activity.
