those who didnt breastfeed

did you still lose your baby weight once you had your baby. i'm not sure if' i'm going to be breast feeding or not and i havent gained any weight. everything just went to my belly lol will it still be easy for me to lose weight after i have my baby?

I lost all my weight with both my kids after 3 mths. And no I didn't breastfeed either one.

I only bf until he was 4 weeks but i lose my weight.

I only BF for 3 weeks b/c we had latching issues. I was my pre-pregnancy weight the day I got home from the hospital (2 days after my son was born) and 10 lbs lighter 4 weeks PP.

Just the same as with everything, eat right and excersise (start out slowly!!) and you will lose the weight. It's a process, and it takes a while no matter what. You will not leave the hospital in your pre-pregnancy cute jeans, nor will you be able to put them on for another month or two (and that's with hard work). As long as you have realistic expectations, and you try to work it off, you will feel great and look great quickly. Breastfeeding didn't make any difference to me at all. I nursed my oldest for 6 months, and my youngest for 6 weeks, and both times it took the same amount of time for the weight to come off.

Hey Shannon...
U in Sarasota?

i am like 20 min from sarasota lol!

and another thing how did your husbands/boyfriends/fiance's feel about you breastfeeding. my fiance said he doesnt want me to breastfeed cuz he is afraid my boobs will get saggy lol.

i mean they are big enough as it is and i really dont want that either. i even plan on getting my boobs smaller and my nips smaller next year around income tax time.

My boyfriend is very supportive about breastfeeding, he actually insisted i do it...but your boobs wont sag from breastfeeding...they sag from pregnancy itself but you can help it by doing push ups and some other excersises.

oh i'll keep that in mind i have also been wearing a sports bra 24/7 even when i sleep my mom says i shouldnt sleep braless

I'm just wondering why you are thinking of not breastfeeding?

i am thinking of breastfeeding. i just havent decided which i'm going to do. i know i am definetly going to try.

lol really.. I live in Sarasota. About bresatfeeding we havn't discussed it, he knows I didn't with my other 2 but I would like to try it but I am scared for some reason. 

I'm about 11 weeks PP, I gained a total of....42 pounds and I've lostall but 17 of those pounds...

w/my first i lost 40 pounds in 2 weeks
w/my second i'm 7 weeks PP and have lost 20

i've breastfed both.

as far as saggy boobs, it happens no matter what. get a good bra and lose your vanity. it's called motherhood not glamourhood.

you should research all the crap they fill formula with. also taste it! once you drink it you'll never want to feed it to you child if you can help it. Formula is wonderful of you can't bf for what ever reason but, I wouldn't just set out ready for formula.
