    Be sure to add AT LEAST 1000 calories to your food intake. You'll lose plenty while breast feeding so you more then likely will be able to eat as much as you want without going overboard. Enjoy this time!!!

    I've heard a lot of mothers say that, but my doctor said people just use nursing as an excuse to eat more. You just need to replace what you are burning through nursing. Also, some women (like me, for example, and a few of my friends), do not lose weight naturally while nursing. Sometimes it takes until you are done nursing or it can even take until your 2nd baby is done nursing. The point is, EVERYONE is different. I'd always get so frustrated when a mom would say, "I lost all this weight with just nursing". Well, my body is not losing all the weight with just nursing. It's taking a long time and I'm hoping this website will help me keep track of everything.
