After my first son was born weighing in at 9 pounds 11 ounces, I was lucky enough to lose most of the weight that I carried throughout my pregnancy in the first several months, much of it thanks to breastfeeding! I was comfortable enough less than 6 weeks later to get into pre-pregnancy dress pants and tops for the Christmas holidays.
When my second son arrived 19 months later, my body was not snapping back like it had before. I was watching what I ate (especially so, as my son had some allergies) but for the first 6 weeks, exercise was out of the question (not to mention next to impossible to find time for with 2 under 2!) How was I to be expected to enjoy the summer outdoors with my boys when I wasn't even comfortable in my own skin?
Enter... the Mother Tucker! Not long after I started working at Nicki's Diapers did I discover this wonderful product. It's a compression tank top that smooths over the dreaded Mommy Muffin Top. It's comfortable and not overly heavy. I found it to be completely discrete under clothing, but I also chose to wear it occasionally on it's own! It gave me the confidence and motivation to get back into my pre-pregnancy wardrobe and allowed me to enjoy my time with my boys, rather than worrying about what I looked like.
Belly Bandit, maker of the Mother Tucker, has since gone a step beyond and above! They recently released the Mother Tucker Nursing Tank! It has all the features of the original Mother Tucker but with convenient slide-over cups for discrete nursing. With my THIRD boy due this fall, you can bet that I will be making sure the Nursing Mother Tucker is part of my after-baby wardrobe!
Belly Bandits and Mother Tuckers are a favorite of celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Halle Berry, Christina Applegate, and Jennifer Garnder. We all may not have access to 24/7 chefs and personal trainers, but this is one tool that we can all have to help us get our stylish mommy figures back!
Belly Bandit was so generous to sponsor a giveway to give one of our lucky blog followers a Mother Tucker Nursing Tank of their own!

My secret to getting into shape post baby was not doing anything drastic. No crash diets or crazy intense excersize routines. I just eased back into my old routine, ate healthy and the weight melted off! Hope the same works this time around!!

My secret to getting back in shape was to never get out of shape and run or jog through the whole pregnancy. Also makes for easier deliveries :)

best way to lose the baby weight is nurse! :)
My first took 5 months to get down to my prepregnancy weigh, my second, 6 weeks. Gained same amount of weigh with both pregnancies, only difference was the nursing
I breastfed and went back to my normal workout schedule to get back into shape.

I didn't really do all that much to get in shape after my DD was born. I have nursed her so far for 10 months, and I am sure that helped me lose the extra weight. I also started running again when she was 3 months old. I still am not completely happy with the way my tummy looks, but I haven't really put a lot of effort into doing core work or anything.

My main way of getting back into shape after baby is running, it really helped me kick the baby weight after number 2 and I am hoping that it will be just as successful after number 3 arrives in December :)

Uuummm I'm still not back to my post-baby shape...over 2 yrs later! I guess I need to read some of the secrets! I have slowly been losing weight just by watching what I eat and I'm also getting a lot of walking done at work now. I weigh right now what I did 9 months pg with my ds who is 18 now! I hate it!
