Baby weight sucks!!

I have a 3 year old daughter and after she was born the weight literally fell off with no dieting and no exercise. Well i now have a 4 month old son and nothing is working. I am breastfeeding, working out, eating healthy, I am doing everything I can and nothing seems to work. Why is it so different from one child to the next?

I agree that it is harder to take off the weight with the more children you have. With my first I dropped the weight right off and I had gained 65 pounds! With the second it was harder and by the time I had my 4th...I am still trying to drop the last 10 pounds and she is 8 yrs old!!!

I think the more children you have the harder it is too take the weight off. I was the same way with my first child. I went basically right back down to my original weight. Then with my second I left on several pounds. She is 3 months old now and I have like probably 10lbs of baby weight left on. I am naturally small in built so 10lbs on my midsection really doesn't look very good. I also got stretch marks with my second and didnt get any with my first. Both pregnancies I only gained 25lbs each time so I don't understand it either. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you are a little older with the 2nd child than the first I have no idea. All I can tell you is that I feel your pain. If you get any great information off here that really seems to be working for you please let me know.
