    bun, breast feeding can reduce the mothers weight faster than those don't wan to giv breast feed, coz if the mother breast feed the child, she is actually giving her own nutrition and calories to the child thru the breast milk, so those she intake give a bit to her baby edi lo~ if not mistaken is like det la~ and oso related to the hormones problem~
