Most women are left with a baby bulge that can be hard to shift. It is understandable when you take into consideration that your previously flat tummy has had to stretch to make room for a fully grown baby weighing in the region of six to nine pounds. The important thing to remember is that the first few months are, and should be about your baby and getting used to motherhood. You will not be getting very much sleep and your priority is your new-born. Looking after yourself is important and you will need to be taking in a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. The secret to losing baby weight is to take it easy and not to expect too much for the first year. Your skin will take time to shrink back into place if you lose weight quickly you stand the chance of having flabby skin. It is a dangerous idea to try and crash diet with the aim of regaining your old figure fast. A diet that is balanced should do the trick plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables with a small amount of carbohydrates and protein should be sufficient. Drinking lots of water will aid weight loss and it will help to flush out the toxins. A healthy diet alone will be enough to ensure have enough energy and stamina required to care for your baby. Exercise is the next element to be introduced into your routine you should not exercise until you are a least six weeks postpartum. Pushing yourself too far too soon will backfire. The main problem is finding the time as a new baby is very time consuming, when your baby is sleeping you will have other jobs to do, or ideally sleeping yourself. Start by powerwalking as this combines the job of getting baby off to sleep and exercising at the same time. When your return from your walk and baby is still asleep take advantage of this time by doing stomach exercises. Your heart rate will still be high from the powerwalk and any exercises targeting problems areas will burn fat faster than any other time.
Many women believe that in order to pull in tummy muscles they must do stomach crunches this is not true. Before stomach crunches you must pull in your muscles that run vertically down the sides of your abdomen. The recti abdominus muscles will have been split during the pregnancy and if you try stomach crunches too soon you risk your tummy sticking out even further. In order to pull them in, all you have to do, is pull your tummy in as hard as possible and hold for thirty seconds. You can do this exercise wherever and whenever do this when you are feeding your baby as this will help you to remember.
