My daughter is 16 months old and I'm starting the weaning journey. It's been really hard so far. I am so used to offering it to her whenever she is in distress! And I have not made boundaries which was a mistake. I would let her nurse whenever, wherever, for a few seconds or an hour.

I think that getting moving it small ways throughout the day is important. I've filled my netflix queue with work out stuff, but I never actually do any of it. For me as a SAHM I got an elliptical cause I figured it was the main thing I would use at a gym so why not cut out the middle man (and the car ride, the baby…

My daughter is 16 months now & it has gotten easier...some days at least she will amuse herself as long as I am in the room with her. Here's what worked for me when she was littler 1. Nap time. They say sleep when the baby sleeps, but it's more like furiously clean, attempt to shower/put yourself together while the baby…

That's awesome! I am feeling like my body is storing fat cause of breast feeding and it is so hard to decide whether to stop to help me lose weight or keep going cause she loves it! My daughter is 16 months so I have far exceeded my goal of how long to bf!

I make a version of this... Boneless skinless chicken breast low sodium soy sauce 1 can pineapple chunks in juice broccoli red bell pepper unsalted cashews I put it all in the crockpot and serve with brown rice. Not sure if the calories on mine are any better or worse but I like the veggies & the cashews! I also put a bit…

I suggest upping your water intake to help the milk production. I drink a ton of water.

5 foot 3 and 150 lbs. My daughter is 15 months. I haven't lost any pregnancy weight despite my efforts! It's difficult when you're short and everything seems to show while taller women carry it better! I do think that breast feeding causes some women to hold onto their weight. Good luck!

I have been breast feeding for 1 year & 3 months and have not lost a pound of my pregnancy weight gain. I think it's because of the following- 1. Breast feeding is a sedentary activity 2. Breast feeding makes me really ravenously thirsty and I had been drinking to many calorie laden juices before I started monitoring…

I am in the same situation! I have been working out for 4 months & tracking my diet for almost 2 months and have not lost a single pound! I am breastfeeding and I am starting to think that my body is holding onto to fat or something. I plan to go to my doctor if I continue to see no weight loss after I wean. My advice is…

Oatmeal with a bit of peanut butter or baby food puree to flavor it pancakes made of shredded zucchini or apple or sweet potato "hash" made of veggies w a small amount of meat- prep your single servings in little tuperwares so it's fresh & so you don't over eat plain Greek yogurt with a bit of puree or cinnamon, ect

My nephew has a similar situation. He is 4 and is beginning to work with an allergist to slowly introduce some of these allergens into his diet. Breakfast can be rough. You can try grating apples, sweet potatoes, zucchini...or some combo of the three and adding flour & applesauce to make a pancake. Baby food purees can…

I am always ravenously hungry in the morning & so so thirsty. Now that she eats regular food the extreme thirstiness is diminished. I used to eat a small breakfast & have more problems wanting to snack late night....now I just as much have to try to control myself in the morning!

I was going to post asking about what I could replace egg with- milled flax seed & water??? I will have to try!!

Or... grate some with grated apple & some egg (or applesauce) & flour of your choice for pancakes

Also... I love the idea of tossing some roasted sweet potatoes & walnuts in with a spinach salad. Green salad always bores me unless I add a cooked item, but I like to add veggie ones like sauteed mushrooms or something.

I am so glad to get these responses! Thank you! I really expected to lose the weight laying down like it seems so many of my friends did, but I guess I am not one of those girls! I must admit though...it makes me think I should be lazy until I wean if I am going to hold onto it any way!

Throw them in the crock pot with white beans, kale or spinich, bbq sauce & whatever protein you'd like...I do chicken breast or turkey sausage
