The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Breastfeeding is an energy-consuming process. It helps burn an average of 500-700 calories per day, which can support slow and healthy weight loss. However, every mother experiences different effects; some mothers' bodies hold onto fat to maintain milk production, so weight might stay stable or decrease very slowly. What's important is not to follow crash diets or extreme diets while breastfeeding—staying well-hydrated, eating balanced meals, and getting as much sleep as possible matter most. Trusting your body's own balance and giving it time is the healthiest approach.
