Breastfeeding has been great for me because I was able to shed off my pregnancy weight and then some! But it is a bit of an inconvenience. I love how easy it is to make formula. No hassle whatsoever. I am glad to have breastfed as long as I have, but now that I am done I just have a question. For any of you who breastfed, once you stopped did you gain weight quick? That is something I am afraid of. I know I have to eat healthy anyways, but I just want to know your experience.
Thanks for reading

Ah... the joys of breastfeeding. The pain of weaning (in my case). It wasn't physical pain, my daughter never took to the bottle so it was a pain emotionally as well. Hearing her whimper when I told her she could no longer "dede" was heartbreaking.
On to your question. I was so skinny while I was breastfeeding my daughter. Not that I preferred myself that way, I just couldn't gain more weight. Once she was weaned, I probably gained about 5 pounds that's it. That's with no exercise or healthy diet (not that I do any of the both though I know I should). The weight gain was gradual. Would love to hear how the weaning goes :)
