No, breastfeeding does not increase the BMI of the mother or the infant. In fact, breastfeeding actually burns calories and helps the mother lose weight after giving birth, and many studies show that breastfed babies actually have a lower BMI once they reach school age.
However, the average C cup breast weighs 5lbs each. The average G cup weighs 10lbs each. Depending on the build of the woman, and the enlargement of the breasts during breastfeeding, the BMI can go up, but due to the increased cup size.
