I'm nursing my four month old. I am slowly losing for now, but with my other three kids I did hit a wall with the weight loss, despite nursing them, so I imagine I'll get to that point soon (just trying to lose what I can before that!). I found that I got stuck from around the six month mark, until my periods returned (for me that between 10-12 months post partum). For some women, it's not until they wean fully that the weight loss resumes. I just tried to focus more on staying active and eating for nutrition, rather than trying to lose weight during that time period. My body likes to hang on to the last 10 lbs or so of baby weight, at least until solids are a bigger part of baby's diet.

I know many women find bfing increases their appetite by a LOT. Maybe try eating foods that are more satiating (think more fats and proteins, and fewer carbs) to see if that helps control your appetite better. Wish I had more/better advice, but I find myself in the same boat and never really figured out what to do, other than wait it out

I'm still nursing my first son who is 10 1/2 months. He is a great solid eater but still loves to nurse. I had lost my pregnancy weight pretty quickly (16 total) but started to gain after he started solids (I did not eat less when he started to nurse less) also some at Christmas and was over weight by about 15 lbs before I got pregnant. I normally eat a high fat and protein diet when I lose the most and keep it off but when I add in to many carbs that is when I gain like crazy and it will not budge. Feel free to add me if you want.

Yes, this is my third time losing weight while breast feeding. What works for me is eating maintenance calories and using the breast feeding as my deficit. I lose about 1 pound per week this way.

Me too. I gained a lot during both of my pregnancies despite my best efforts. I only wanted carbs what can I say. I'm now 6 months pp with my DD and am stuck about 30 lbs to get to my pre preg weight. I am working mostly on nutrition and cutting out junk. I use junk as a quick stress reducer when I finally get both kids to take a nap at the same time (this takes a lot of effort for me and the stars must all be perfectly aligned). Also my 6 month old is not sleeping through the night yet and so I am chronically sleep deprived and exhausted. I have found some YouTube exercises that are quick (5 to 15 minutes) that I can do them while the kids are playing around me.

My son is now six months and I've lost all the pregnancy weight (30lbs) Unfortunately I was overweight before I got pregnant so I still have 40lbs to go. I found a gym that has a daycare and my oldest is in kindergarten so I go every weekday morning to their group fitness Classes. I've been struggling a bit lately because my baby still isn't a good sleeper. Up every two hours at night makes it hard to have energy for the gym.

Almost 10 months of breastfeeding here. Whoever said you'd drop weight like crazy while breastfeeding was a liar. All it made me do was eat everything within reach.
