    First off, congrats!!!

    Now, you just had a baby. You just GREW a human being in your body for the past 9-10 months! It is going to take a while for you body to readjust back to normal. Though there are a few woman that can look like a supermodel (naturally, and I have known a few) right after child birth, the other 99% of us women, it takes a while for our bodies to go back.

    ENJOY being a mom and enjoy that baby and do not stress about dieting or make it your main focus. Just eat well and when it warms up, start taking walks with your son. Results will follow. :)

    ETA: Oh and my son is almost 14 months old. :) When they start walking, believe me, you start to move around a lot. lol Mine has been walking since 9 months. x_x

    Breastfeeding burns massive amounts of calories.

    NOT getting into the breast/bottle debate, the fact is: You can lose weight quickly and end up with "fried egg" boobs, or bottle feed, exercise on your own, and keep the girls looking nice.

    Nonsense. I breast fed two babies and "the girls" ended up looking just fine. They were fine and perky by the time my tummy was flat again with number one, and BEFORE it was flat again after number 2. I gained too much weight with 2 and it took a while to get it back off.

    Have food around that you don't have to take long to prepare. Otherwise it is so easy to have something fattening. Get enough rest.

    I should have mentioned that I wore a good nursing bra to give "the girls" support 24/7 except while bathing until I stopped nursing.
