I lost all of my weight about a month after having my son with breastfeeding.  It was very easy for me he latched on good and ate pretty often.  He was very healthy.  Some people saythey have problems withthefe milk coming in, but my did fine.  My actual milk didn't come in til like the day after we left the hospital.  So about the third day of breastfeeding.

Some people swear it does I personally lost just as much weight just as fast breast feeding my second as I did formula feeding my first. I might have even lost more formula feeding then breast feeding.
