Breastfeeding will drain you girl! You have to eat extra calories to compensate for what the baby is taking from you. Just like drinking extra water, you have to eat lots of little meals with protein, carbs, fresh fruits and veggies. Eat more often and throw in a little bonus treat (dessert) whenever you want. If you eat more food and eat more often but still lose weight, then you should be worried. Try it for a week and see if you quit losing weight, OK? Relax, you won't make your baby sick.

As long as you are eating healthy well-balanced meals and drinking fluids every time you nurse your milk should be fine. Sometimes nursing will help you loose that baby weight a bit faster....Do call your doctor to be on the safe side. Remember you should always call you doctor when you have a question about your health or your baby's health. No question is stupid except for the one that goes un-asked!! Congrats on the baby and best wishes.

You should call your doctor if you are concerned about it, some people are lucky and loose the weight quick especially if your breastfeeding. I was told that breastfeeding burns up to 300 calories a day and you still need to eat like your pregnant and keep taking your prenatal pills, maybe your not eating enough but if your really concerned you should call your doctor.

I got down to 50kg (110lb) whilst breastfeeding. I ate everything and my weight still went down and then stopped at 50kg. As baby starts to feed less then you may start putting the weight back on. Or you may not until you completely stop breastfeeding. Thats what happened to me, Ive now put on 10kg (22lb).
But if you are really concerned then it is best that you go see a Dr.

Its normal for people who brestfeed to lose the baby weight very fast. I would not worry about it unless you weigh less then you did before the baby.

instead of a margarita opt for tequila on the rocks with a lime wedge
