does breatfeeding make you lose weight quicker?
hope this doesnt sound selfish, i wouldnt be doing it just to lose the baby weight but i have heard that it is a n added bonus.
i am thinking of bfeeding this one, as i didnt with my first and wish i had. and obviously its much better for the baby.
but is it true what they say, does it make you lose weight? how quickly were you back to normal?

Also, think positive - 'you are going to BF' & get some Lansinoh nipple cream ready to use abit before giving birth and for after & read up lots before to get yourself prepared.
Check out www.llli.org & www.drjacknewman.com for BF'ing info.
Good luck with whatever you decide, the first few weeks are tough - I had to remind myself that baby & I were both new to BF'ing and both learning!
Just be very open-minded about bf and go with what suits you, your baby and your family. I'll soon be stopping as family life is hectic and I can't just sit all day with a babe on my boob! She's had a great start so I'm happy.
She's lost is much quicker 2nd time around too as little baby Adam is a PIGGY!!! Honestly, I don't think I've seen him when he's not latched on!!!
