Breastfeeding will fall off your baby weight

Sorry to say mommies this is not applicable with all the mothers out there. But some women are born with the gift of awesome metabolism, this is the reason why they reduce weight so quickly even after eating cheese cake in breakfast. Some women eat more then normal during breastfeeding because hormones ask them to eat so. So my dear ladies out there until and unless you have a good metabolism , you can not reduce weight until you stop breastfeeding.
