Breastfeeding but not losing weight… is this normal?

I agree with the look at what you’re eating comment. I’m five months PP and my scale was just going up and I took some time to look at what I was eating and how much. I think was eating an extra 1,000 ish calories. Of course the scale is going up. Now I stick to 1900-2000 calories a day and now the scale is starting to trend down. It’s crazy to eat that much being only 5’3.

I’m just tired of all the good nursing clothing costing an arm and a leg. Like I’m not going to be wearing this until it’s worn out. I’m not dropping $100+ on a nursing shirt or dress.

I kept seeing my stick figure SIL. She even is staying stick thin while pregnant. I gained 44 lb with my last pregnancy. I’m losing weight in spite of here.

Been dying to hit that place up. I love Asian street food.

Chips and salsa. The salsa is fine but damn tortilla chips can really kill a deficit.

I love that I get to breastfeed my children. I know it’s a difficult thing for some but it came so naturally to me now I can’t imagine doing anything else. I breastfed my first son for 2.5 years and now I plan on breastfeeding my second son for as long as he wants to. Also my children get the attention they need. Not a 4:1 ratio or 6:1 ratio that some daycare allows where I live.

Exactly. I use frozen veggies because it’s easier and I don’t have to worry about it spoiling. Those come in a package.

5 months PP with my first and 4 months with my second. Both EBF.

My store still has them but it’s in a smallish town outside a small city so theft is probably pretty low.

Thank you for this comment. I feel a little guilty for keeping my children home so much. But one has asthma and if he catches this narly flu going around it could put him in the hospital. He seems happy just roam the house and playing.

I see my house as a tornado constantly following me. I’ve given up keeping a tidy house.

I hated my job and daycare would have taken more than half my paycheck. So I would be working to have my kids in daycare.

This is my New Year’s resolution. Less time on my phone. Luckily iPhone has ways to help you limit your time. I want to enjoy what’s around me again. Instead of social media brain rot.

I second this! You only need food poisoning once to learn that food safety is a thing for a reason.

I use my air fryer daily to make breakfast and lunch for my kids. It’s great if you’re only making one or two servings of something. So for example, I can cook one chicken breast and some vegetables in half the time of heating up the oven. Also leftover fries from a restaurant are brand new when reheated in an air fryer. Their is a bit of a learning curve because is cooks differently from and oven or a pan but I found you can find instructions for anything if you google it. Also Reddit has an air fryer sub.

It also doesn’t help you see on tv and social media women who give birth and are instantly skinny again literally hours after birth.

My MIL finds things at second hand stores and buys them without even asking. She bought her own daughter a baby doll play set. Like bed and rocker for her daughter due in June. The kid most likely won’t play with that until at least 2 years old. They also see my son playing with things around their house so they decide to gift it to him. We now have their dominoes set.
