Simple Solutions to Losing The Baby Fat

By Dorthy Weatherbush


It is the most exciting time in your life. The nurse hands you your newborn son or daughter only minutes after they are born. You heart races and you are filled with all kinds of emotions. You are speechless until that is you look in the mirror and realize that your pre baby body is no more.



The reality is that it takes effort and time to return to your normal weight. Experts have proven that it can take about a month and a half and even that is predicated on exactly how much weight you gained during the pregnancy.

Whatever you do, do not panic. Most women are able to lose all of their baby fat weight gain within a reasonable amount of time. For some women it could take a bit longer, while still others seem to appear as their old selves as they exit the hospital thin and trim.

They make other women either green with envy or close to tears. Instead of letting it bother you though, be proactive. Some women's genes are just like that, lucky them. By becoming proactive, you can use your energy that you would use being upset about it and put it to better use.

Never forget that your first priority is to nourish and care for your little angle. Dieting too soon after giving birth can do harm to both you and the baby. Watch what you eat and maintain a healthy diet.

Want a surefire way to burn 500 calories a day without ever leaving the bed? If so, then you will want to give breastfeeding a try. According to published reports, women burn an average of 500 calories by simply performing this natural act. Imagine how healthy your baby will be and how thin you'll look if you breastfed.

Now is also the time not to slack on your water consumption. Drink about 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Not only is water great for hydrating your body, but it flushes out the impurities.

After a few weeks, you can start implementing some light exercises in to your day. I do mean light. If you feel at all uncomfortable, cut back for a few days and try it again. You can start out with some light aerobic exercises and stretches.

The key is to start slowly and work yourself up to a full routine. Remember to take it easy. There should be nothing you see on television that you are trying. Many of those routines are far too strenuous. Your body will let you know what it can handle.

Keep in mind that this is not an overnight process. It took about 9 months to add the weight to your body so you should not expect to regain your pre baby body in 3 weeks. Give yourself a break and begin the difficult work now of regaining your figure. It is well worth the effort.
