I don't do much cardio, maybe an hour a week, but I have to eat an awful lot each day to prevent losing weight.
Or nursing should help take off the baby weight too.

Bootcamp is high intensity cardio. Bursts of intense cardio followed by relaxing... things like hill trainig etc...
This is actually the best kind of cardio for fat burning. It has an amazingly positive affect on your metabolism.
I second adding in the weights though. Especially the compounds you have mentioned.
If you are already doing those, the only thing missing is diet. I'm not sure what "baby fat" means, but the only way to get really lean is to throw your body into a calorie deficit with lots of protein.
Weight watchers are good for people with no self control, and it lets you slide into a system easily. Personally, I think it's better to build your own system as it will be easier to keep and you have more control over the foods you eat.
