Whatever the adverts say, getting back into shape involves a bit of hard work so don’t think that some miracle pill will change your figure. The best way to shape-up and trim down after having a baby is by exercising and maintaining a well-balanced diet. Losing weight alone will not give you a toned-up, healthy look, nor help your tummy area become nice and firm again. Find a sport or type of workout that you enjoy and that suits your schedule, and stick to a regular routine. If you follow simple rules, you will lose your extra pregnancy weight naturally and gradually:

It is not that difficult to help a baby wean than some people make it out to be. Remember babies are little humans with brains and they will give you signs of what they like in their diet. Let your baby on the journey of food discovery, introducing just one new ingredient every few days is the best approach.

By now, you will have discovered that babies are creatures of habit, and really respond to settled routines they can recognise and predict. You must be aware how upsetting it can be for your little one to have her daily timetable disturbed. She can be cranky all day if she misses one of her regular naps, or absolutely refuse to go to sleep when she discovers that her favourite musical mobile has just run out of batteries. It is a good idea to try to accustom your baby to a degree of flexibility early on. Basically, anything you decide to introduce regularly into her normal day or night time rituals will be learned by your baby and accepted as part of her routines. While you should definitely stick to a regular routine in the run-up to bedtime, don't make it too complicated and rigid, so that it always remains adaptable to different situations. For instance, babies who only ever learn to go to sleep in pitch-black silence will find it difficult to adjust to lighter conditions or the presence of noise, because they simply don't associate such conditions with sleep. So get your baby used to different levels of darkness and noise - it will make things easier and make her more adaptable to different situations. Also, if you always put music on for her at bedtime, use special comforters, rock or pat her gently as she goes to sleep. If the baby is being left in the care of anyone one else, make sure they are made aware of all your little one's bedtime creature comforts. Once into the routine it is really a breeze putting a baby to sleep.
