Didn't with my first. This time I didn't breastfeed at all and at delivery lost 8 of the 11kgs I put on during pregnancy and am already in my prepregnancy clothes. I think it just depends how much of the weight is baby and fluid etc and how much is not.

Yes and no. Lol. It is said to burn about 500 calories a day breastfeeding. Some women loose weight, some do not. With my last baby I didn't start to loose any baby weight til after I stopped breastfeeding at 10 months old. My other babies I lost weight while breastfeeding.
