Have you talked with a lactation consultant? They may be able to help with this. And, as frustrating as it may be, you may not be able to lose until you stop nursing. Not a reason to stop, you are doing something great for your child. There is the thought that if you are nursing the weight will melt away. Not for everyone, some moms cannot lose until they are done with nursing.

Good luck! You can add me if you want. I have 2 kids, my youngest being 20 months. She nursed for 13 months and I had a hard time dropping weight without my supply decreasing. My health coach (from my insurance co) said that shouldn't happen, but it did...

I second the idea of not eating high sodium foods. Retaining water could be one of your problems. It sounds like you are eating enough calories and drinking enough water. Make sure you are getting out with baby (walking, hiking, stroller ride to the park). That will benefit you both. I have nursed all 8 of my kids. I am currently nursing my 11 month old and will continue until he is 2.

I didn't start losing 1-2 lbs a week until my running mileage went up past 15 mpw, now the lbs are slowly falling off. This started last week, and I am only 19 weeks post partum today. I breastfeed, I only eat about 1800-2000 calories a day, but I also run 5 miles twice a week and one long run that is between 8-10 miles on the weekend so I am easily burning 1700-2000 calories a week just in running which is pretty much a lb, then I walk 3 miles 3 times a week while giving myself a rest day, also doing some strength training. Your body is still recovering, and dealing with hormones that will have it bouncing around, don't sweat about it right now.

Try adding some healthy calories instead of cutting calories. Sometimes a few extra calories can do more for weight loss than cutting calories.
