I'm breastfeeding for 2 months now and my appetite is very good, it looks I'm gaining weight instead. How long does it take a mum's weight back to normal?

Yes, breastfeeding can certainly make a mother hungry all the time. It's because your body is using a lot of energy to produce milk, which should naturally help in weight loss. however, it’s a good idea to choose a healthy balanced diet, ensuring you take lots of fruits and vegetables, adequate protein and not over-eating the simple carbs like rice, noodles and breads. Eating healthily and breastfeeding should help you become fitter and thus help you achieve a healthy weight. So.. go ahead and eat, but eat smart.
