Pat,

My own experience has been quite the opposite.   With four children, I
experienced lactational ammenorrhea for 20 months, 18 months, 16 months, 14 months.
 With the first three, I dropped weight quickly going back to my prepregnancy
weight with little or no effort, but I noticed that I had a bit more fat in
my abdominal area each time.   I felt that this was the reason my cycle
returned earlier each time.   Age and four babies seem to have caught up with me as
my youngest will be five in a week, and I still am carrying around an extra 15
pounds!

Aloha,
Gloria Thai
