Since I stopped, weight has slowly been going back on so enjoy it while you can! I'm on a diet now and doing regular exercise.xx

I thought BFers needed 3000cals a day. I've still managed to gain 3kg

i have infront of me two baby mags and info off health visitor about breastfeeding it says depending on feds we will burn between 200-500 cal a day. more demanding babies tight make you burn more but you cant measure which you are x x x

I didn't know it actually helped to lose calories, I know it can tighten stomach muscles over a period of time tho.

I BF'ed and didn't have time to eat & still didn't lose any weight, my tummy was ever so slightly tighter tho
