Daily weight fluctuations. Breastfeeding related?
Every morning I weigh four pounds less than every evening. I am breastfeeding a lot throughout the night so I know my body is burning calories and giving up milk but that doesn't explain FOUR POUNDS. That is a huge difference. Any theories?

I think a lot of it is respiration. You use water when you breathe. And yes, nursing will take some of it, and then going pee as well. |

Re: Daily weight fluctuations. Breastfeeding related?
My weight often fluctuates within that range, but I attribute it to water weight. It's the same way for me - I weigh less in the morning than I do in the evening.

Re: Daily weight fluctuations. Breastfeeding related?
I weigh less in the afternoon then when I weigh in the morning. I always attributed it to heavier supply in the morning

Re: Daily weight fluctuations. Breastfeeding related?
No, probably not--but you're not replacing the water you breathe out by eating and drinking at night as much, are you?

I lose several pounds overnight every night as well.

Re: Daily weight fluctuations. Breastfeeding related?
a 4 pound fluctuation isn't unusual. That's definitely in a typical range for me.
