Yes, yes and yes. This is very normal. I do agree that nursing helped me shed about 30lbs in just weeks after birth but I still have 10lbs to go to get back to my prepregnancy weight. I'm still nuring my 18mo. old. I really think your body just needs that extra fat while working so hard to maintain a "balanced meal" for your LO. I think what you are experiencing is very, very normal and it will get easier to lose the weight once you are no longer nursing.

As my DH always says liquid is very heavy so that must be where the 10lbs are, 5lbs in each lol.
