Gaining weight after weaning?
I almost done weaning my 11 months old baby. For the past week, I noticed I gained about 5 pounds :< I guess it's time to cut back on food now! I am curious if all BF motnhers go through this? Thanks!

RE: Gaining weight after weaning?
From my experience, YES! Almost everyone I know has to make some big changes in their diet when they quit breastfeeding. I know that I didn't make the change fast enough and have struggled to get off the extra weight. It's so hard to go from eating mostly whatever you want to a more sensible diet but your body doesn't really need those extra calories once you're not sustaining another life outside your own body! Good luck!
