I was back to pre preggy weight within 2 months, I'm not sure if it was to do with the breastfeeding because I spent the whole time I was bfing stuffing my face like crazy. I use to drink lots of milo as well, I found it made the night feeds a bit more bareable if I had a nice hot drink (was the middle of winter).

With the dummy I would put him to bed without and then if he needs it give it to him. Spencer was quite random with his dummy, he would have it to calm down but then wouldn't sleep with it (would fall asleep and it would fall out but he wouldn't mind) and he never had it for night sleeps only day ones At around 2-3 months he dropped it entirely when he found his fingers.

its strange he was fine all night and day and then needed it again at 10pm..which is often a hard one to settle him down.. and then he was up for two hour s in the middle of the night which hasnt happened for ages.. he was getting better night time at increasing intervals(was a week since really bad night) then 2 night s in between bad..i realise just when you think you have a routine you really dont:) never mind we'll get there..

rachandjack how does the exercise affect the milk..how do you know..cause she seems less settled? he certianly sleep s better in the morning..so maybe its my milk.. bobbie- yeah milk affected by heaps of food..more than when i was preg:(!!

cuppatea- i guess i could boil jug in between boobs but somtimes im just wanting to get that first one in quick to make him happier:) though I'm beginning to stress less and calm down more! yeah hes foudn his fingers..sometimes he will be suck suck sucking.. and sometimes dummy falls out and doesnt care and other times blue murder..and like now hes' asleep in bouncer(always for first day sleep and he isnt wrapped or dummy and hes fine..)where's my instruction manual!!!:)
Mum to two amazing boys!

Lol!!!

So far I've lost 15kg from how much I was when at 39weeks preggie. I can't remember how much I weighed pre-pregnancy though (ignorance is bliss!) so I don't know how much I put on... I know it was a fair bit though. But in saying that, alot of it was fluid cos from memory when Harry was a week old I was 10kg lighter than I was at 39weeks.

Edited for bad spelling

It was a hindsight thing that I realised it was the exercise. She was sleeping really well and then I started working out hard out (like and hour every day or quite physical stuff) and about 2 weeks after that she started sleeping terribly, and just being really grumpy and feeding a lot. It wasn't until I cut it down a bit and realised she wasn't so grumpy when I didn't do it. I think I just wasn't making the same amount.

If hes sleeping better in the morning but not afternoon I'd say it wouldn't be your milk but just maybe him?

I only breastfed for 3 weeks with Phoenix (due to apetite issues and being sick after the birth), so now he is a happy formula fed bubs.

Since I won't have that weight loss through breast feeding benefit, I have decided to join weight watchers today. Go me!

I gained 17 kilos during birth (8 kilos of that I gained in the last 5 weeks due to water retention). I was at a whopping 105 kilos. I was already at my heaviest when I fell pregnant.

I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight at about 10 days after birth. I was 87 kilos but still not eating right. Now that I am trying to turn my apetite around, I am 90 kilos and want to get down to a reasonable weight for my height.

I am starting with a 15 kg goal, and once I reach my target, I will re-assess and probally go another 10.

Oh man! This isn't fair! I am 17 kg more than when I was actually pregnant! Have to admitt, I was thin because I had severe vomiting whole way through and spent alot of time in hospital but I was expecting that once I had the baby, I'd be slim and gorgeous. Instead, I guess because I starved most of my pregnancy, I am storing every little piece of food I consme. OMG imagine when I stop BF. Not fair!
