Hi..room for another nursing mom?

[Alicia76]

Hi everyone,
My name is Alicia and I have an almost 18 month old dd named Nadia, who I am still nursing!
I am not really a newbie to WW, I lost 40lbs pre-baby, met my goal and got preggo...gained too much while preggo and here I am (again)!
I also did WW last January, lost 20 lbs but I was so discouraged at the SLOW loss so I took a break from it in July. Now I'm back, and am more determined than ever..I HAVE HAD IT...I want my old self back!!! This time around I'm not going to use any nursing points, at this point in the game I feel pretty safe w/ that.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all! graemlins/wave.gif

Welcome Alicia! graemlins/wave.gif

I have a 1yr old nursing "baby". I'm currently eating 6/10 nursing points and nursing him 4-5 times a day. I haven't lost any weight at all this month (in fact so far I'm up one pound) so I'm going to start to decrease my points by another 2 next week and probably will give them up entirely by Christmas. When the babies are getting a good amount of food and liquid (baby takes soy milk and water in a sippy), you aren't feeding them as much milk as before so it is fairly safe to give up the nursing points. However, I did that with my second child and my milk dried up (after I gave up the nursing points). So, I'm taking it easy this time and gradually decreasing the points to make sure that I don't have the same thing happen again!

Join us over on the nursing moms thread. We'll start another one this weekend! smile.gif

Hi,

I'm quite new here too. I'm Anna, momma to Ryleigh 3.5 years & Cheyene 14 months whom I am still nursing. I am using only 5 nursing points a day, haven't noticed any change in my supply & I've lost 19lbs so far.
