extreme weight loss?

Hi Mamas,

I NEVER thought this would be something I would worry about... but i have been EBF my son for nearly 6 months (in 10 days!) and my weight is getting so low, that I am at least 10 lbs under my pre preg weight -and I gained 60 lbs!  I am not working out and I am eating around the clock... and I am getting a bit concerned.  That might sound crazy but I wanted to see if anyone has had similar experiences... I dont know if I need to go to a dr to see if everything is OK with me or if this is due to the breastfeeding.  My son is a very hefty nearly-6 month old - clocking into the 90%iles for height and weight.. and he eats every 3 hours (or I pump at work) except at night...  just wondering if this is something I should just be grateful for and enjoy while it lasts as a benefit of breastfeeding... or if I should see a dr myself... any advice would be really appreciated!
