Rapid Weight Loss

Asked for Female, 30 years

I am having a rapid weight loss My pre-pregnancy weight was 51 kg. And on the day of delivery, I was 61 kg on 2 July 2018. I breastfeed my baby. And till the 2nd of December, I was 52.5 kg but after that to till now in five months I lost 7 kgs now I am 46.5 So I want to ask is it normal to lose this much weight because of breastfeeding. Baby is also on other diets and bottle feed as well.

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you eating enough to maintain your weight or less than usual? Are you taking any contraceptive pill with hormones esp? Do you have any pain any unusual symptoms in your body? Do you have any loss of appetite or alternating bowel movements? Let me know what has changed apart from breastfeeding and childbirth. Also is this your first child? How many and of what ages do you have? Kindly resend this and any other relevant information so we can guide you further.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Nutritionists in Islamabad and seek in-person advice.
