post-pregnancy belly...

I got back to my regular weight about 1 month ago, but you know, body fat moved in the process... I'm doing a routine of cardio and musculation 2-3 times a week, and I'm getting pretty abs, but there is still a good amount of fat above them... Do you have any tricks for me ? Thanks, Mary

About the calories needed for breastfeeding I heard that it's about 300-400 calories a day... but maybe it could be from different sources and I also heard that the longer you feed your baby better are the chances that you lose extra weight... It is also recommended that when you're breastfeeding you don't lose more than 5 pounds a month because you don't want all the bad things stored in your body fat in your milk (exept for the first weeks where you loose really fast)
