We are still nursing at 13 months and loving it. We are down to only morning and night. Do you think I am still getting the calorie burn from only nursing twice a day. I am kinda scared to quit nursing cause I don't want to gain the weight back. Right now I am 10 pounds lighter than when I got pregnant.

I nursed for 3-1/2 years and I don't think I gained any weight when my daughter weaned a few months ago (She'll be four on August 29th). Of course, I think I was gaining weight the whole time I was nursing, even with a big eater of a daughter... Sigh...

with 2 nursings a day you are probably getting only 200-300 calories "burn"

Just watch things closely as you wean - if the scale starts to creep, cut back a little on calories or add some exercise. Dont wait for it to become 10 lbs. If you wean slowly it shouldnt be dramatic.

Well, logically, if you aren't producing as much milk, you aren't burning as many calories.

As ennay sad, just keep an eye on the calories and the scales.
