Putting on weight after childbirth.......how to ?

[mozhe]

...I am 5ft 6ins and 7st 10....I had a baby prematurely 2 weeks ago,( at 27 weeks...I had put on about 4 pounds altogether during the pregnancy...that is not unusual for me as I put on very little weight normally during pregnancy ),and have lost 6 pounds since then.....Despite eating for England...I am still breastfeeding a 1 year old...I follow a vegan-ish diet, and have done all my life.
Dietician here in France is next to useless as all she says is..'if ONLY you ate meat...'
Suggestions please ? Ideally I'dlike to be 8st 2-6 lbs...that is my normal weight....I don't like being this much under 8 st...

Are you guys having a laugh? I'm 19monthd post birth and still trying to loose 5kg!!

Jokes aside. Maybe you could follow a low fat athletes diet? Something that is high in carbohydrates. a lot of body builders take supplements to gain some weight, I would check out the composition though.

They usually recommend the following to people that play sports that needs a high volume of glycogen in their bodies (carbo loading);

starches, pasta, potatoes, bread, fruit (bananas), dried fruit, sugary drinks, cereal bars, white or brown sugar.

You can always make some muffin with sweet potato, or butternut squash etc to take to work. freeze them individually and take one out when you need it and take along.

Space, I do all that you listed but still it falls off.
Moshe, what loe said could be true. Even though you don't feel particularly stressed, having a baby in scbu and other children as well as returning to work is exhausting just thinking about it

I have 5 kids and although I don' 'Do' alot I think my mind is so filled with things to do/remember ect.... that I probably burn energy just thinking abot it.

Yes, emotionally it is draining....watching an incubator is also a bit boring, especially when the occupant sleeps 99% of the time...

Doesn't last forever though. So much strenght is gained through sleep

My dd4 was 7 weeks early so not as diddy as yours but she was pretty poorly for the 1st 2 weeks then really got going with the getting stronger xxx
