Unless you are diabetic I don't think even your doctor will recommend using Glucophage to lose weight, while you are breast feeding.

Please see the link below.

I don't know about the pills but I d have a suggestion on wait loss whenever you get a chance swivel your computer chair back and forth. Take the baby for a walk if you can't walk that far take it a block at a time walk fast enough that you can still talk but not fast enough not to keep your brearh. If your in your a couch bounve of the back of it you'll notice the chane don't skip meals your body will hold the fat if you do so make sure you eat take care and good luck jaine
