I don't gain much, but I did BF all 3 of my kids for atleast the first weeks and I lost what I had gained and then some.

I don't think BFing keeps the weight off though.

More than anything BFing helps get the uterus quickly back to prepregnancy size and helps the tummy not pooch out as much. I found of all my firends the ones that BF tended to seem/look slimmer across the lower tummy than my FFing friends.

I lost all my baby weight in 3 days. I now eat like a pig just to keep weight on. The other night I had just gotten out od the shower and my husband teasingly said "Maybe I need to breastfeed somehow, I could really lose a few pounds."
