Breast feeding is great. I breast fed all three of my children. The only thing is by the third I had gained a lot of weight. After my third child I decided to join weight watchers. They set me up on a plan so that I ate enough to keep producing milk and still lost weight. Basically the just figured out how many points I was allowed because of my size and then added extra to allow me to still breast feed. The program worked great for me. During that time I lost 35 pounds. The program was nice because it allowed me to get out and socialize for an hour a week without children. Don't get me wrong, the program is children friendly and when I had to I took the children, but it was nice to be with other adults and actually hold a conversion.
