breastfeeding can make you thin..

It was true for me! When I got pregnant with my oldest, I weighed 145 (I'm 5'11"). I gained almost 50lbs (yikes!) but then quickly got down to 138ish post partum. Then when I got pregnant with my son, I only gained around 35lbs and only 9 weeks post partum, I'm down to 128. :o I haven't been this thin since jr. high.

Thanks cherriemae for your valuable suggestion as it has helped me though we don't have kind yet but i have seen most of womens gaining weigth after pegnancy .i think your sugeaation will help my wife not gaining more weight after pregnancy.

I lost my weigth back down in a little bit and never breat feed my kids couldnt my milk wasnt good

Well it didn't make me thin at all, I wish it did. :)

yes it is great. it is good for your babies and for us as well.

My wife is b_reastfeeding my son at this very moment and she has not put up any weight since then. I guess it is true that b_reastfeeding mother can enjoy those slim looking figure even right after giving birth. *I have to put the b_ since myLot is filtering my content.

Wow,I've never heard this. It doesn't make sense to me, since it's not a real workout. If anything the baby's suckling is the only workout being done.

I've heard of this before. It can be true for those that eat right and/or have a high metabolism, but some woman may have not be able to lose the pregnancy weight with just nursing alone. I could be considered lucky as I never gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant with my kids. I gained less than average (12 lbs) with my first son, due to having a bad cold when I was carrying him) and I gained the average amount (about 27 lbs? I cannot remember right now) with my second pregnancy. I nursed both my babies well beyond the year mark, but I never slimmed down completely and almost 7 years after my second son was born I still have some fatty areas. :P Oh well, I can always exercise and eat right to get my body where I want it.

ive never hered that but thanx for letn every one no because ive been thinkin about it
