I have had similar issues postpartum with my other kids and aim struggling with how to get out of this rut. After I lose weight for the first few weeks, it starts to increase. This is because I am not yet exercising much, beyond walking, due to doctor recommendations. But also I am SO hungry when nursing—much more than when pregnant. But that additional 500 calories one gets when breastfeeding is not that much and I definitely eat more than that. And dieting is contraindicated for breastfeeding because it can impact supply.
It feels like a catch 22–I can gain weight and breastfeed or lose weight but no longer feed my daughter. I think like the other kids, I will choose to keep breastfeeding, but it’s so frustrating. I’m sure there are people who lose weight because of nursing but I think it is overall a myth (and genera a misogynistic one).
Vent over.

I restricted calories with my kids. Breastfeeding did not go well, was supplementing early on, completely stopped by 6 months. They are 11 and 14 now and I regret my choice so much. I wish I had focused on enjoying my bond with my babies instead of the size of my pants or getting back to my pre-baby weight.

Daisy— continue to walk and make sure that the calories you are eating will provide both you and baby with the NUTRITION that you both need. Also, why would you not be allowed upper body exercise if nothing else. I would see clarification

For me this is a no Brainer! Your precious little one is only tiny once. You have the ability to provide the perfect nourishment in an uncertain world and bond with your child! You can work out the rest when your angel is less dependent on you. Exercise will not be limited for long. Blessings on you and your family!
