Sigh...I am also one of those that didn't just instantly shed the kilos because I was breastfeeding.
I was still in maternity jeans when DS was 4 months old, eating really well. And then it slowly started to slip off, but DS was nearly 12 months old before I was back to what I was before I got pregnant. It was when he was around 9 months that I really felt that I was getting back to normal, but it still took another couple of months to lose those last couple of kgs.
And yes, I was still breastfeeding him (till 18 months).
With DD the same thing happened except I had to wean her at 3 months and even though at 4 months some weight came off I never lost the rest of it. Here I am pregnant again and really trying not to put on too much weight because I am starting off 8kgs heavier this time.
