[quote=Anonymous]First baby at age 32: Started at 128, delivered at 165. He was a big baby, exclusively BF, and a voracious nurser, and he stayed big throughout infancy. I lost all the weight in less than a month-- it was amazing. I did nothing, in fact I was eating constantly. During his first year, I dropped down to under 120, a weight I hadn't seen since high school, while eating heartily (including getting up in the middle of the night to eat sometimes lol). After my period returned when he was 13 months, my weight slowly returned to 128.

Second baby, age 37: Started at 128, again delivered around 165. He was also a big baby and exclusively BF but not a big eater like DS1. I dropped about 20 pounds quickly, then slowly lost 10 over the first few months, and the remaining 8 stuck around for a while. I think I got back to my starting weight, or near it, around 6-8 months. I didn't really diet per se, but I wasn't eating like I did with DS1 either.

Both kids BF well past a year, no supply problems with either baby.[/quote]
