I’m just going to say this because no one online is saying it clearly.
Breastfeeding does not automatically make you lose weight.
And the amount of content pushing that idea is honestly… misleading.
Yes, your body is burning more energy.
That part is true.
But your body is not in a fat loss phase.
It is in a recovery, stress, and milk production phase.
Which means it is way more protective than people make it sound.
So if you’re sitting there thinking
“why isn’t this working for me?”
It’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
Your body just has different priorities right now.
And once you understand that, everything starts to make a lot more sense.
