I am a major advocate for breast feeding, and let me just say - it is proven that your belly contracts with each suckle that your baby takes, (you can actually feel it sometimes, it is really an odd sensation) so it is great way to get back into shape and take care of your baby.
Personally, I was at prepregnancy weight by the time Gwynn was a week old. At 6 weeks I attended a dance conference and, even in leotard and tights, the teachers couldn't tell that I had just given birth (tho my tummy muscles were a bit out of practice, lol) .
