Breast feeding helps in weight loss but initial weight loss is due to the delivery - baby weight placenta amniotic fluid etc account for about 7 kilos. Why would you need to pump if you are feeding ? Trying to create a store of milk will just make you more stressed. Do discuss this with a Lactation specialist in your area as they will help you resolve all your queries.

It's not that only breastfeed made you to loose 10kgs in a month. after delivery generally all women tend to loose their weight. it's not your weight, actually it's baby weight and the other fluids. if you are able to produce milk then why you wanna stop it just bcos you are loosing weight? many women are worrying that they are not able to produce milk, but you.. 2 months of breast feed is really not enough for that poor baby. you can manage your weight by eating healthy, feed your baby as long as you are producing well.
