I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight two weeks after my daughter's birth. But in the first 22 months of her life, I've gained about 7 pounds. How much of the struggle to lose weight after childbirth has to do with having been pregnant, and how much is due to the realities of being a parent? I've found, as a breastfeeding mother, that it's been difficult to adjust my diet appropriately as my daughter's nursing habits have changed. Thanks for this topic!
