I was the slimmest when I breastfed
About ten years ago, at the age of 25 to 27, I was at my slimmest and lightest weight as an adult. With my height at 157-cm tall, I usually weighed at 47 kilogramme before I got married and pregnant. However, it dropped further when I started breastfeeding for two years. The weigh scale went down to 43 kilogrammes, which was categorised as underweight. Not only that, it also reflected in my body feature especially my face where my cheekbones became more prominent. I constantly felt hungry during those two years. I took a lot of carbs. My cravings were crazier than when I was pregnant. But, still it didn't help. Is it something to be concerned about? Having a mother-in-law who is not supportive or not understanding the benefits of breast milk, my dropped weight did concern her a lot. As a woman with smaller breasts, she had been sceptical whether I could provide enough milk for the baby. Losing significant of weight made she even wondered whether the baby "sucked out"
