there is no "should". As long as you are healthy, I wouldn't worry too much. Baby fat will soon leave. Exercise and eat healthy and DON'T worry.

Pregnancy. You get the added weight of the baby and if you get cravings you could really put the weight on. A lot of women struggle with back pain also, which limits their mobility. Less exercise means burning off fewer calories means more weight gain.\n\nIf you want a 'good' answer, don't try the easy methods. Eat healthy foods that are high in calories (e.g. nuts - also good for lowering your risk of heart disease - bonus!) Also try weight-lifting using low-repetitions if you want less fat and more muscle. But things like walking and swimming will also keep you healthy while you gain weight.\n\nJust don't forget that 'diet' originally meant 'lifestyle'. It's better to change your lifestyle rather than just go on drastic weight-gain/loss diets.\n\nGood luck!

OMG - Congrats!! Keep in mind that your body is still healing & hormones are still outta wack. I didn't start to feel my normal self (w/ all the implied regular energy) until after my son was close to a year. Maintain a healthy diet & food portions. Just doing all the regular housework that a new mom does (plus the irregular schedule) will help burn some calories. Once the baby gets on a somewhat regular sleeping pattern & you can get some sleep then try to incorporate some light weights. Alittle weight-conditioning & some daily walks with your new bundle in the stroller will help shed some pounds. Take it slow & don't get discouraged if you don't fit into your pre-preggers jeans immediately.

It is hard to say why people do the things they do but I can speak from experience and from my medical & counseling training.  Your family is doing it for the same reasons you do some things.....they dont' think about it from your point of view. \n\n** Parents are from an era when eating hearty meals was our way of life.  Skinny didn't look good and If we had skinny children we as parents failed to adequately feed them.  We wer then thought of as a poor family.  We feel comforted when our children eat.  It makes us feel ike we have done our job.  However, most parents aren't always up on the latest events.  The increasing obesity is killing our children.  They are eating snacks and pop at an alarming rate causing "muffin tops" at an early age which can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle including early diabetes and high blood pressure and other complications. you don't want that fat to hang on your organs as you age.  You seemed to have thinned out a little.\n\n** You sound beautiful*** That is great well within the BMI index and looks healthy as well.  \nYou have to be happy with you,  and it is great you found someone who loves you for your current appearance and one I think you are happy with.  You need to worry more about changing hair styles and piercings than making your family happy about your body.  They should worry about there own health first.\nI would simply tell your mom you will eat when you are hungry and you appreciate her concern but to please not talk about your weight or eating habits anymore.  Trying to understand why people act or say things is truly a maturity issue.  If you can see it as your mom having concern for you, then you are well on your way to growing up nicely.\n\n\nGood Luck!

If their weight is a health issue, then yes, a properly supervised diet and exercise program is okay. I would also advise that the child get counseling as they need to find out why they are overweight in the first place and learn better habits. If they are 5 pounds overweight or something, then NO. I'd say just get them up and away from the TV and PC. Good luck.

AOL.com just had an article about obesity (although there is no obesity category for children, oddly enough; they're just overweight).  Some crazy numbers on how many adults and children are overweight and obese.  Try checking that out for starters?

My son was almost 7 weeks early. Came out just 4.5 lbs and fit in the palm of my hand. He had to stay in hospital NICU for over 2 weeks before we could bring him home. It's now been over two years, and he's healthy and fine and average size (not small). He did seem to be a bit behind in his baby development milestones, but the gap seems shorter now. We don't anticipate his early entry to the world to have any effect on his adulthood. In fact, since having him, we've met many outstanding adults who say they were very small preemies.

Your body has changed from giving birth ,do not worry this is normal,In Vancouver where I live many women with newborns jog every day with there kids in a carriage and the pounds eventually come off.Don't forget if you are breast feeding as you should be you need additional proteins-vegetables ,juices for a healthy child.Do the exercise cut back on processed foods and treat your body like a goddess and you will lose weight and more important have a very healthy child-GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

The best way would be to exercise and eat healthy.  Denise Austin has a GREAT video called "Bounce back after baby".  She concentrates on the problem areas that new mommys tend to have.  It worked great for me and i'm sure it will for you too.  Just to let you know how well it worked for me--- I gained 39 pounds with my last baby.  After my doctor okayed me to be able to exercise again safely i started using this video and watching how i ate.  I lost a total of 69 pounds in about 8 months time.  Good luck and take care.  If i can do it, anyone can!!

among neonatal it is lactose intolerance that is why breastfeeding is encouraged if BF is not applicable soy milk is the alternative like Isomil\n\namong infant it is iron deficiency anmia that is why when the baby reach the age of 4 months supplemental iron is given.\n\namong toddler malnutrition because they start to have feeding difficulties and hyperactivity they tend to forget the plaesure of eating instead spend most of their time playing and burning a lot of calories.\n\namong school age up to adolescents this time it is obesity due to the exposure to junk foods

Definately weight and obesity. Man.. after your questions yesterday, it got me thinking on the subject and holy hell are people super sensitive about that subject! It doesn't matter what the question or statement is, it seems folk go straight on the defensive without even comprehending it properly. They instantly take it personally when it isn't and cry abuse if you so much as discuss it. Even though, it's a serious health problem, it seems that we can not mention the fact that someone is overweight! Oh and god help you if you use the word 'Fat'!

Just concentrating on one area will not always mean you will get the results there. If you want to lose some weight you need to do two things every day. Get active and maintain a sensible diet. \n\nIf you can't get to a gym with a kids playroom take your baby in the pram and go for a 2 hour walk each day. Work up to it your baby probably sleeps twice in the day. So there are a few golden rules. \n\n1) Always eat 6 meals a day but try to ensure that your carbs are low GI. This will speed up your metabolism. \n2) Eat 2 hours before exercise and 1 hour after. This will mean that you are burning fat and weight rather than the actual food. \n3) Try to limit your carbs after 4pm. Increase your proteins and vegetables around this time. \n4) A good balanced diet would be: \na) 7am - cereal w skim milk\nb) 9am go for a walk (start at 1 hour and build up)\nc) 11am - apple or 10 walnuts\nd) 1pm - multigrain salad roll w lean meat\ne) 3.30pm - low gi yoghurt \nd) 6pm - lean meats and vege\nf) 7pm - low cal jelly\ng) drink 2-3 litres of water no soft drinks or juices\n\nI went through this myself and now have two children so I totally understand. It takes about 6 months after you stop breast feeding for all the fat to disappear especially if you have had a girl. I have no answer for that other than all my friends who have had boys are back in shape after 3 months. Those who have had girls take about 1 year. \n\nDon't lose hope be persistant and weigh yourself only once per week. Goodluck!

Extremely important!  I am an infant/toddler caregiver and teach classes on early childhood education at the university level.  There are many different charts and forms you can use to see if the infant's growth and development is "on track" - more involved and detailed than just the pediatrician checking the child's height and weight.  But for any of those charts/forms you will be observing things the infant can do - some easily observed like turning over and crawling, but some that take really focused observation and practice to notice, like certain reflexes.
