Do you think not getting your period after baby affects metabolism?

[ExcitedMamma]

I'm having a really hard time losing the baby weight this time around. I was 29 with DS and 32 now so not a big change age wise. I just realized after DS I got my period back early like 8 wks pp but still haven't gotten it back this time. Both were/are EBF on demand so I'm not sure what's different this time. Do you think not getting it back affects metabolism?

Any other ideas on what to do?

I'm 31 and also EBF. With both kids I did not lose the weight until about 6 months and then it just started falling off. I am now 8 mo pp with DS2 and am 10lbs under my prepregnancy weight. At 5 months I was 5-10 lbs above prepregnancy weight. Try not to be too hard on yourself. It looks like you're only 4 months pp. I've found when I'm nursing I hang on to the extra weight awhile.

ETA I haven't gotten my period back yet and didn't with DS1 either.
