Breastfeeding does help as it burns up calories but at the end of the day it's only up to an extra 400-500 calories that you need so if you're eating more calories than you burn you won't lose the weight or put on more even. So yeah enjoy the treats but don't go overboard, just stick to healthy eating, healthy snacks and gradually build up your exercise. The main tip is to drink LOTS of water!

I put on weight after having DD even though I am breastfeeding because I snacked too much and the snacks were bad like chocolate, biscuits, sweet bread, etc. Once I cut that back and started exercising I lost the weight I put on plus a few extra to take me back to my pre kids weight.
