Why does postpartum weight loss seem so different for breastfeeding

I keep seeing completely different experiences with postpartum weight loss.

Some moms say breastfeeding helped the weight come off really fast, while others say they were constantly hungry and actually started gaining weight back.

Then there’s the c-section belly, a lot of women say the lower belly area seems to stick around even when the rest of their body starts changing.

Its kind of confusing because there’s so much advice online and everyone seems to have a different experience.

Curious what it was actually like for people here, especially a few months postpartum.

Did breastfeeding make losing weight easier or harder ?
