Answer 2

You need to eat more frequently. Your metabolism has changed. Also, You will drop the weight significantly if you are breast feeding. I lost ALL of my baby weight within 6 weeks!!

As for the stretch marks, take castor oil and rub it onto the marks. Wrap saran wrap over your marks. Take a heating pad (as hot as you can stand it without burning yourself) and place it over the marks for 20 minutes a day (twice a day if you have the time) My stretch marks were gone in 2 months.  EVEN my c section scar is invisible!!! It really works and castor oil only costs like a dollar at walmart!!!

Answer 3

mmm... breastfeeding should help you slim down quicker, not sure abt the stretch marks, maybe they seem worse bcs ur belly is not as big?
