Well hello ladies...I share your weight pain! I have a 6 month old...2nd daughter and with both, I have gained weight AFTER giving birth to both! Afetr I had my 1st daughter, I lost 8 lbs...she was 7lbs, 3 oz!! Then proceeded to gain weight! The Lac. Consultant I saw told me that approx. 8% of BF moms will "store" their fat in case the body needs it to produce milk if your intake of energy drops. Aren't we lucky???!! Same thing has happened with daughter #2. I lost 20 lbs after she was born and proceeded to pack almost 20 lbs on again within her 1st month!! I eat very well, go to the gym regularly to no avail! When I stopped nursing the first time I dropped 15lbs in 2 weeks, I can only assume this will be the case with my second round! You try to do what's best for your baby, but it's hard when you don't feel like yourself with all the extra weight!
