so we've all heard that breastfeeding does help with the weight loss after giving birth. After having Jr. i checked my weight loss at 3 days and had only lost 20lbs of the 50+ lbs i had gained with him. The weight i'm not really worried about but it was the big ol pudge i had in the front and my thighs were too big to fit into my old jeans. As i've said throughout my whole pregnancy i don't mind keeping on some of the weight...Lord knows i could use some of it being only about 105lbs pre preggo. I planned on exercising and walking immediately after deliver but i had to have an episiotomy and my doc ordered me on pelvic rest for 3 weeks. So i was a little worried about sitting around like i'm still fat and pregnant. Jr's first week he was having problems sucking and wouldn't take to the breast so i was feeding him formula and breastpumping here and there since it hurt so bad and my breast were ridiculously engorged. I would keep trying to breastfeed him everytime before i would give him a bottle and he finally gave in on Saturday. He's been breastfeeding for every feeding and i pump inbetween (i've noticed it doesn't hurt as much and i've learned how to express enough so they don't throb from engorgement) anyways...i've noticed over the past couple days a HUGE difference in my pudge. i haven't bothered getting on the scale yet. My mom even mentioned yesterday how much its dropping off!! By time my 3 weeks is up i'm sure it'll be gone on its own. Not sure if its actually from breastfeeding but it seems to be...just thought i'd share.

First what a handsome man you have in your profile pic! He is gorgeous! Second I know what you mean. It is now 3 weeks today and I lost all my pregnancy weight. Now I am back to using my pouch in order to get to goal weight for me. (RNY remember?)
