To you mommies!

How long did it take you to lose the baby weight you gained?

If you breastfed, how long did you wait to diet and exercise?

With my first child it took about 6 months to lose my baby weight. With my third, it took about a year.

You burn calories when breastfeeding, so there really isn't any need to diet. Exercise as soon as your doctor gives you the okay, though I would think it wouldn't be any longer than 6 weeks after you had your baby.

Discuss this with your doctor during your next check up, they should be able to tell you more accurately what you want to know.
