I have read in another forum that babyfeeding can help moms in losing their unwanted fats. Is there a proof on this?I know for a fact that the baby can get the nutrients in the food you eat when you breastfeed them but I don't think that you will lose weight for the food is still in you and not on the baby right?

I heard this is true and also contracts your uterus as someone else said and my mother has confirmed you feel it contracting and shrinking back every time you feed for a while after you give birth- I hope this is true anyway as I need to shift the weight I put on to fit into my wedding dress!
