I think breastfeeding can play a big part in post-baby weight loss. I found I did absolutely nothing but the amt of BFing I was doing just used up so many calories and the weight dropped off. After a year or more people were actually suggesting I looked a bit gaunt because I ended up even smaller than when I started.

Don't know if that helps. But it is an added bonus of BF
Not for me. I bf my DD part time for 7mths, then got pg and she weaned fully, and now have been bfing DS for 18mths. I'm fatter than ever. So bfing isn't a weightloss solution for everyone. I had been hoping it would help me, but it never did
