Not good for mom because it contributes to the system being out of balance, thus more post partum depression, and not good for baby because where do all those toxins that are stored inside fat go when the fat melts?

My little one is 16 months and I'm just now at a point where I can make a concentrated effort on losing the (substantial) weight I put on. I also had the misfortune of NOT being one of those lucky ladies who shed weight just by saying "nursing". No sir, I held onto nearly every blessed pound until I stopped nursing at 10 months. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100658157604879121.post-9333929136356878722009-08-15T18:40:38.114-04:002009-08-15T18:40:38.114-04:00Oh my goodness, Amy is totally right, Ms. Guest Bl...Oh my goodness, Amy is totally right, Ms. Guest Blogger. Don't pay any attention to the people who need to keep their traps shut.<br /><br />You already know that, as a mom, you have bigger things to worry about. (your little cutie!)

He could perhaps get fitted for a Baby Bjorn and they could both go for a hike with the baby. Or a nice long walk after dinner as a couple. Or a long walk on the beach if they live near a coast. Really. There are ways to encourage your spouse that don't include nagging or hurtful comments.Opus #6https://www.blogger.com/profile/02063785617333740178noreply@blogger.com
